Hooray - I made some progress this morning. I noticed when I woke up that I have moved from "mad" to "sad". Yippee - I'm on my way through the stages of grief. And another little victory - even though I'm in "sad" I feel like I'm in it like I would have been before my accident. The thing I'm saddest about is Josh - how hard this all has been and continues to be for him. I am at least a little sad for myself too but it comes second to Josh. I feel like if things were different and we were grieving about something else I would have the same sentiments. So that's good news.

What am I sad about for me? Mostly I am sad because I lost some of myself in the accident. I don't feel like I have the same energy or voice or presence I had before and I hope desperately that they come back. I kept my sense of humor, love for my husband, love for Jesus, and mind which are the most important so that's a blessing. But I still miss the rest of me. Prayer for this would be much appreciated.

Thanks for listening. Sorry if it was a downer.
