What a busy couple of days it has been.

Thursday I went to checkups at Harborview and it went really well. I'm decreasing one if my meds now which is great and most importantly I got approved for weight bearing in my left arm. Then after we were done at the hospital Josh was kind enough to take me to Laughing Buddha on Broadway and John Durante put all my jewelry back in. I didn't think it would be able to just go back back in - I thought the holes had closed up. But no, I now have my nose ring and both of my tragus' back in. I feel more like myself, that's for sure.

Friday came with lots of pain and a great date night. Lots of pain came because I can weight bear now and my OT had me on hands and knees trying to do push ups. Wow - that was an incredible and searing pain in my wrist! And my push ups weren't even that good. Bummer! Oh well. I am a little afraid of what OT has to bring now and that it'll just hurt so bad I'll have to quit and look like I'm wimping out. We'll see. Date night included lots of great sushi where I felt full again and a trip to Husky Deli to get some coveted Danish bacon.

Saturday was really busy. Mom came over in the morning and it turns out her whole ladies group got me Christmas presents so she schlepped them all upstairs. We had a great time opening and then got to go to the Mars Hill West Seattle Christmas tea. The tea was really nice. I think my favorite parts were getting to chat with Brit and getting to introduce Mom to Sandee. After it was over Mom and I went to Husky to get an appetizer platter because Josh and I had our new-married Christmas party yesterday afternoon. That was great fun too! I think the best part of that was a tie between 5-year-old Theresa telling me,. "I'm glad you're healing" and Tom Vo's heinous ornaments made out of liverwurst and summer sausage. Oh, they were even worse then you're imaging - if that's possible.

Not too much on the docket for today - just some good relaxing. If you want something specific to pray for me for I could really use prayer surrounding my left arm. Please pray that it gets working well and doesn't hurt too much. Also just prayer for me and my pride involved in that entire thing - that I don't hurt myself trying to satiate my pride.

Thanks.
