Rehab turns into a torture Session :)

Since the weatherman are predicting a snow storm in Huntsville this afternoon everything is shutting down. So my therapy got rescheduled to 9:30a.m. The first problem with that is it's in the a.m. I am not at my best that early  and since I have been fighting this it is nothing for me to sleep 10 to 12 hours which is wild because I usually average around 6 hours a night, but that's a different subject.

I make it to therapy ok and I have occupational therapy first. I spent most of that session working with a machine that measures what I am doing - I think I did fine except my arms now feel like they are on fire. She did note that my right side is weaker then my left even though it's the dominant side. Following her I had a new guy in physical therapy who wanted to try new things and test my endurance!!! But I must appreciate that he did the hard things first so I finished up with easier things and I rested before I walked out.

We of course made it home before the snow which started about 3:30 p.m. and it did actually really snowed. We have at least 6 inches... It is really pretty but the power went out around 6:30 p.m. which wasn't bad because we had the fireplace, candles, a power outlet, and an ipad with wifi - life is good :)

Starting to Feel Normal Again

Strange title I know, but when your normal is not your normal anymore, when you are unable to drive or do the day to day activities that make you up your day, you often wonder if you will get back to that again.. So today was my first normal activity with out

Slow Monday

I don't know what's going on.. I laid down tired and I got up tired. I didn't think I overdid, but it always so hard to tell. I have to get myself moving - it's therapy  Monday and I need to accomplish something today. I have to forget about how I feel and press forward - thanking God for another day with mobility.

Dr. Visit!!

2/19/2015

Today is my first visit to the neurologist since being released from the hospital. I am a little nervous about what he is going to say. I spent most of the morning filling out forms and trying to chase down medical records, for him and for my STD.  I pray that goes well, I know I am better, so much better....

Well I saw the Doctor - I am doing well, but I still have places in my foot that is non responsive but I am progressing rapidly. Scheduled to see him again in a month. Still no driving and not released for work yet.

Celebrating the Life of our Aunt

Today was my first real outing, the first time I have had on real clothes (something besides sweats) since Jan 13. It was not an event I would have chosen, but I was glad that my health would allow me attend. Today we gathered together to celebrate the homegoing of our Aunt, Mother Odell Kirby Jefferson.

We went up last night to help alleviate over-tiredness on my part... I am thankful because I would have been a mess. Even with that I am really tired. I slept all the way home and I am sitting here now with my feet up.  But I don't mind being tired - I can sleep all day tomorrow :) until time for therapy - I was glad that I could make the trip.

Aunt Odell was a wonderful aunt, with a sweet and kind spirit. Aunt Odell truly loved the Lord and we are not worried about her eternal home, for we truly know that she is resting in the loving arms of Jesus. But we will miss her spirit. We pray for her children and for our family.  For God has blessed us with a wonderful family and even on days like today it is always good to be together. For they have truly been supportive of me thru out this journey and I am thankful for them. They have prayed for me, fed me, visited me, and generally been there to lift my spirits.
As our day comes to a close and for my Cousins the beginning of a new normal, I am reminded of what First Lady Bush once said that at the end of the day it does not matter how many degrees you have acquired, the amount of money you have in the bank or the size of your house, but what matters is the lives that you have touched and the good that you have done. So I am truly very thankful that my Aunt truly touched lives and made a difference in the lives of many!

Life is Precious

2/5/2015

We sometimes forgot how very precious the gift of life is, we take our family and friends for grant. We expect them to always have our back, we never doubt for one minute that they will be there. But do we ever say thank you, do we lift them in prayer, do we lay them before the altar seeking God for favor and blessings in their lives. For so often our prayers are centered around what we want and what we need, for first Timothy reminds us that prayers and supplications should be made for all....

So today instead of thinking about myself and worrying about me and mine - I want to thank God for those who have been covering us in prayer and supporting us during this Journey. For it has been your prayers and the Grace of God that has sustained us and we are so very thankful. For I do not know how people make it from day to day with out the love and care of a Church Family.

As I continue with both Occupational Therapy, I failed Yesterdays evaluation, so I have to take both Occupational and Physical Therapy, I pray that God will not only strength my limbs but strengthen my walk with Him, give me the ability to be a help to someone else whose Journey had not begin.

For it is the little things that mean the most!
