Today was full. I had PT this morning and got to get a long awaited gingerbread latte from Starbucks. Then we went to the pool with Nick and Rachel and Sharon. Mom met us there too. After the water workout we came home and Billy did a little acupuncture. I even stayed awake - just barely. Finally Josh and I made beef and broccoli stir fry and had dinner. Whew - what a day.

This morning I worked more on my paper for speech therapy. It is coming along well. It's on TBI. Pretty fitting if I do say so myself. Fun, hard, and very interesting.

Therapies have been great lately. In PT I've been cleared to walk with my walker by myself safely. I've also been cleared to get out of the house on my own going down the steps one at a time, but I get to come back up step-over-step.

My walking is improving a lot too. My PT had me walk fast and we found that my gait is even better then. I think it's because I'm not bogged down by thinking about every little thing as I'm going slow. All I'm thinking about when I'm going fast is trying not to fall on my ass. Whatever works.

Day before yesterday I went to Target with Josh. We were on the hunt for heinous Christmas ornaments for a gift exchange we do with friends every year. We found them alright! I just don't know who's is worse - mine or Josh's. They are both pretty bad. Should be a fun year for that get together.

Also emptied the dishwasher and put away some clothes. Almost felt like a regular wife for a minute. As a good wife, I put on the video of the UFC fights we had tickets to before my accident. Wish we could have been there and seen it live!

Yesterday I had a big day too. Walked over to QFC with my OT and did a little grocery shopping. Boy that is a long walk. Then Nick and Rach came over and we had a Wii bowl-off. Josh did really well - he bowled over a 200!! Is it just natural or was it because he was full of the awesome lasagna brought over by the Latvala's? Who knows - it could be either. That was a good lasagna! I didn't do too bad either.

Looking forward to seeing Z tomorrow and resting up over the weekend. I've got a full week next week between therapies and follow-ups at Harborview. I also have to work on what I'm going to say at my concert on the 22nd. It's coming up.

Thanks for reading,

Ang

    so i had this dream last night that angela was playing the cello and singing in this music video of a song that she wrote for Josh. It was called "On a Tuesday". I will try to remember how it went. It was a very moving song. :)
