Fast forward to present day ...

I have been writing about the things that have been going on since my accident - telling you my stories of woe.  I'm glad to report that ... I'm still a gimp and still waiting!  There a a ton of stories I can tell you about the last 2 months that I've been sitting at home but I'm pretty sure that they will continue to happen to me so I will just update you as they happen!  haha

I have begun going to Physical Therapy twice a week.  NovaCare is the rehabilitation center that I am going to.   So far they have been pretty nice.  They have me doing some exercises that I'm not to sure why I'm doing them ... like riding the bike.  But I basically do what they tell me to do.  They know what they are talking about so I will trust them!!  My biggest problem right now is that I still can not feel my foot.  It has been over 3 months since my accident and my foot is still swollen AND my wounds are still open AND I still can not feel my toes!  I go back to the doctors next Wednesday so I will get his thoughts on this.  My therapist said she wouldn't be too worried - but then again ... it isn't her foot!  So worried I am!

I have been getting better w/ my crutches.  I have been trying to just use them for stability ... not so much as weight carrying.  I would say I'm at like 75% on my foot which is great (for weight carrying).  The only thing I am not doing though is walking long distances.  For instance tonight we all went to the buffet for dinner.  I used my wheel chair to go into the restaurant because there would be no way I could walk around and get my food and all that w/ my crutches!  So if there is a distance involved - I use the wheel chair, but around the house and such I am pretty much on the crutches!  YAY

Ok it is official - I am addicted to HGTV.  One would wonder why since I do not have my own home - but when I do ... all I can say is that it will look amazing!!!  LOL

Amazingly enough I am sleepy.  I didn't wake up today till after 11 a.m but I am so tired right now I just need to sleep.  If I can fall asleep before midnight I will be able to have a real excuse for not waking up my mother. She is peacefully asleep on the other couch and I decided last night that I will not wake her up to send her to bed ever again!  She gets way to snippy with me even though I am doing her a favor.  One of my friends ... Tabila suggested that I wake her up but use a subtle approach and use a pillow over her face!  haha but I thought it would be a lot less obvious if I plug her nose that way I can just say that I'm wiping something off her face!!  hahaha  "What mom - you had glitter on your cheek, GOSH.  I was just trying to help!!"

haha I'm kidding of course.  Don't call the cops!  I love my mother to death ... *throws pillow on couch*

TTFN - I'm going to sleep!
