Just Like That...

Watch out world... I'm mobile again! Just like that!! We went camping at Nat Soo Pah Hot Springs by Twin Falls this week, and we had a great time! The pool was so relaxing, it was nice! The moment I decided I didn't need my crutches anymore was when I was in a dressing room with Marissa, and I told her to stay there, and I would go get the next bunch of clothes to try on, and I walked out of the dressing room without my crutches, and when I got to Dan, he asked me were my crutches were.. I didn't even realize I left them! So, I had to go back into the dressing room, and get them. The fitting room clerk thought I was CRAZY!!! I told Dan enough is enough.. I've forgotten my crutches more than just that time, but that one was the most embarrassing! My leg feels so good! I still have some popping, but I have no complaints! Before my surgery I couldn't even walk, or put weight on my leg at all!! I have a feeling.. I should have done the surgery years ago... I feel so free!! I can't wait to enjoy the rest of my summer.... WITH NO CRUTCHES!

Wondering....

Am I going to ever walk normal again? I've been at fifty percent walking on my crutches for a week now, and the last couple of days my knee has been hurting so bad!! I hope that this will end soon!! One more week of this, and the Doctor said I can start winging myself off the crutches with the help of only one... we will see!

My Thought.....

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile,
leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same." ~ Flavia Weedn

This poem reminded me of someone who came into my life years ago, and changed it forever... People come in and out of our lives, but sometimes they do leave lasting footprints on our hearts. I know I'm a better person today because of this person! It's funny how things don't work out, and it's amazing how they do! Sometimes, you just don't see it right away.....

Six Weeks Down and My Silly Daughter!!

It's been six weeks since my surgery... I'm so glad it's almost all over, and I can throw the crutches out the door! I go to the Doctors tomorrow, it should be pretty interesting! I was chatting with my sister this evening about what info I need to tell the Doctor, and the info maybe I should keep to myself.. he needs to know the important stuff, right! We decided maybe he don't need to know that I went inter tubing out on the lake... I'm fine, right? What good would it do to tell him... I'm a foolish person! Anyways, I'm way excited to be getting the green light to be more mobile... YES!!! It's been a very trying six weeks, I can tell you that much! I so hope this is just what my knee needs to buy me some "knee time"!

Okay, so I have a Jessica Simpson for a daughter! Marissa and I went to the store yesterday, and I asked her to get a can of tuna. I pointed at it, and she told me, "I didn't know that tuna was chicken!" and I said, "WHAT?" and she said, "Yeah, it says Chicken Of The Sea!" I just shook my head, and walked "crutched" away, laughing! I later explained it to her, and she said it made no since at all! She thinks the company should be, Tuna Of The Sea... I guess I agree with her! After all, it is tuna they are selling... not chicken!

Catch Up...

We went on vacation last week to Yellow Stone, Bear Lake, Cherry Hills in Salt Lake City. We had a fantastic time together, and really enjoyed our camper! We are so in love with it!! (I will post pics. soon)
Tomorrow will be five weeks for me and my crutches.. wow!! I'm almost done!! My knee feels really good! I'm just hoping all goes well, and it's what my knee needs to buy me some time! Going on our trip really made the time go faster. I know I can do anything, now that I've done Yellow Stone on crutches!!!
Marissa has been enjoying all her free time with her friends in the sun and water! She got a new pool for her good grades, and she lives in there morning, afternoon, and night! (I think she was a fish in her past life!)
We went and watched Wall-E tonight, it was cute!! It wasn't my favorite pixar movie. Marissa really enjoyed it, and that's all thst matters!!
