Today is my birthday - na na na na na. Happy birthday to me - na na na na.

Today is shaping up to be great. I got to sleep in with Josh this morning and then he made me breakfast. When we get going we're headed to Palomino and maybe a movie. Should be a good day.

In general doing okay. Still a little depressed that my left side isn't working yet. My arm and leg feel really heavy and the left side of my face still feels stiff. Oh well, baby steps. I am still seeing mini progressions every now and then. On Monday my face itched while I was stretching and I was able to itch my eye with my left hand. That was a success!!!

Yesterday my mom took me to the pool for pool therapy and she even got in with me! It was awesome! Thanks, Mom!

Josh starts his new job tomorrow so that should be tough. Especially since he has to be in the office every day for six weeks. Yowch! That'll be tough on both of us! I certainly will miss him!

That has been my biggest worry lately - heading back to work. It seems like March/April is right around the corner. I think I'm mostly just freaked out that I won't be able to do my job any more. Or worse that I'll get back and they'll find out how reduced I am and fire me. Should be a trip and will definitely be a challenge.

Still trying to figure out the maze that is outpatient therapy. We'll see how that goes. And of course there's the whole added hoop to jump though of the Harborview/Aetna contract dispute. Prayer on this front would be much appreciated.

Don't think I have anything else for right now.

Thanks for reading,
