Hey.

Well, it has been confirmed once again. I am my own worst enemy. No can diminish how far I've come or tell me what I cannot do like I can. So at least I've got that going for me. But I'm getting trickier at it. Instead of just telling myself how I'm not making any progress I am now acknowledging all the progress I have made and just telling myself that it doesn't mean anything or it doesn't matter when you look at how far I still have to go.

I think this was all brought on yesterday in OT. My therapist was having me work on hand mobility, specifically fingers and thumb. It did not go well to say the least. But now I know how the kitties feel. My thumb is barely opposable so my left hand might as well be a paw. Man, it never seems to stop overwhelming me when I get a glimmer of how hurt I really am. Kind of makes me feel like I'll never be better. And it makes me take a moment to inventory and recognize how hard this really is and how much my life sucks right now. Never any fun.

Despite all this I did make one huge step this week. I am now able to put my hair in a claw clip by myself. Yessssss!!! When I showed Josh he almost cried he was so happy for me. So that made me feel good. He is the best supporter EVER!!! I am so blessed to have him! Who ever knew that this is what was meant by loving your wife like Christ loves the church?!?! That is one big job! And he is doing so well! Meow, we all appreciate what you're doing and we are all, especially me, so proud of you for stepping up to such a monumental task. And kicking butt!

On a totally different note, I found the most AWESOME Easter cards. Here's what they look like...

HILARIOUS!!!!

Hope you liked them.

I have something that I want to share; if you knew it could help your body would you want to hear about it? Give me a call. Kim Taylor (206)228-2734.
