I am doing well. Meeting with the ladies last night for bible study was wonderful. We got to talk about what I have been struggling with, which has been pretty hard for me lately. I’ve been having a really hard time reconciling how God is good and I got hurt this bad. I’ve also been pretty frustrated with having to work so hard just to get back to where I already was. Any prayers for these things would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve also been spending a little bit of time lately just feeling bad for my husband and my mom that they have had to go through this with me. I just can’t imagine what it would be like to get a phone call that your baby is in a coma and might die, and that you should rush to the hospital. Josh must have had just as hard of a time if not harder when he had to check his 27 year old wife into a nursing home. I know I am not supposed to spend energy thinking about this stuff but its there and never far from my mind.
In bible study we talked about how this IS God’s plan and His intentions are not for me to understand or question. We worked through my new favorite verse, Joshua 1:9. It says, “Have I not commanded you be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” This verse has been extremely helpful for me in reminding me to trust God and reminding me that He never abandons me. Like my PT from Harborview said, “He was with me before the accident, He was with me during, and He is with me now.”
It was really fun to go to Dana’s house for tea yesterday morning. She really liked the slippers my mom made for her. She put them on right away! Lucy enjoyed her pair too.
For PT yesterday my therapist and I went to Target and walked around. Her intention was to see how I walked and get a feel for my endurance. I think I impressed her, at least on the endurance front.
This morning was exceptional because my kitty Suki let me pet her at the end of the bed. She let me pet her back and then she even rolled over and let me rub her tummy. Meow! Josh got the Wii hooked up last night and we put it to good use this morning. We Wii-bowled together and I even won! I think it will get plenty of good use. Josh golfed on it and I can’t wait to tell Tom to come over and golf with Josh. We’ll see how the balance board works out since I haven’t tried it yet.

Angela updates originally appeared on a website called Caring Bridge. During this time, visitors could leave comments, greetings, and encouragement in an online guestbook. We migrated to this blog after Angela was discharged from the hospital in November, 2009. All of the updates have been reproduced, and all original guestbook entries have been compiled in a single PDF.
Yikes Ang. I just had a big comment written and my computer ate it! Bummer. Are you up for coming down in the next week or after Thanksgiving to bake some Christmas cookies? Think about it and I'll call you this week. We can talk then. xxxooo Katie Pope
ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeleteYou must always remember that your mom and Josh could not be any more proud of you than they are now. They almost lost you and to not only have you survive, but for to come back and just kick serious ass on all your injuries is absolutely the greatest gift they could ever receive. No mom or loving partner could ever feel that you have let them down; they have never rallied more diligently for you to return to them and I feel certain they both would say it was so worth it. And you have amazed everybody that knows your story; you're incredible. Keep pushing, baby!
