The last few days have been okay. Today I got to go to the gym with my PT. We tried the bike, the elliptical, the stepmill, and the treadmill. I'm okay to do the bike and the treadmill by myself, I felt really unstable on the elliptical, and I just have to have someone there with me if I want to do the stepmill. We also tried various weight machines that work the legs. All in all it felt pretty good to be back at the gym. Then this afternoon Josh and I went to Target and Barnes and Noble. Whew, I did lots of walking today. Guess that's good. And Josh got me a cane today too. Not too shabby - and it's powder pink!
Yesterday was pretty low key. Just hanging around the house and then the 5 o'clock church service. Kinda nice just to have a day to rest.
Tomorrow is a big day. I get to visit work with my OT. Should be great. It'll be good to ride the bus since I haven't done that since my accident. I might even feel normal. Or at least normal-ish. And the day after is follow-ups with musculo-skeletal and orthopedic. I really hope to be approved for weight bearing in my left arm.
What I've been struggling the most with lately has been balance. I just don't feel that stable. Most of the time I feel a little tippy. Any prayers regarding this wouldbe much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ang

All of the updates have been reproduced, and all original guestbook entries have been compiled in a single PDF.
Angela Sweet, you are so sweet. I miss you. I'll pray for you tonight.

ReplyDeleteHey Angela!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Sybil and my husband is Daniel. We met Jesus through Mars Hill just last year and we live in South Ga, USA.
We heard your account by following Pastor Mark's sermon and you are in our prayers.
As we become more aware of sin, we see how cruel people can be without Jesus.
We love you!!!
