Hi.
Nothing huge. Just saying hi. Mini update time.
Yesterday I went to lunch with my boss and got my performance review. Not bad. And lunch was great! Thanks, Brad. The review wasn't too bad either. Although I'm a little worried that it might be my last good review. We'll see. And then I got to hang out with the ladies last night. Yummy Redline and a little debauchery. Including giving poor Opie Doodle (the golden doodle dog) pop rocks. Too funny!
And then today and the day before yesterday I went to the gym. Worked my butt off. Day before yesterday I did the assmaster (stepmill) on level 3 for 15 minutes. Boy oh boy, did that do me in! And today I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes. Found out that I can't smoothly walk without holding on faster than 1.8. But that's pretty good. And it finally didn't feel super awkward to pull my left hip forward when I step with my left leg. That's big success because I've been working on that all week in physical therapy.
And other big news - Josh got lasik today. It'll be weird to have him without glasses walking around the house. We are a surgery-happy family between the two of us. Two Fridays in a row in the Sweet household. And I'm only a little jealous that his recovery time is WAY shorter than mine will be. But I'm still excited about getting my surgery too.
Don't think I've got much else.
Hope you're doing well.

Angela updates originally appeared on a website called Caring Bridge. During this time, visitors could leave comments, greetings, and encouragement in an online guestbook. We migrated to this blog after Angela was discharged from the hospital in November, 2009. All of the updates have been reproduced, and all original guestbook entries have been compiled in a single PDF.
It won't be your last good review Angela. Your "tornado in a small frame" previous work ethic would take most of us time to build up to...let alone after TBI. Maybe you'll have to settle for "normal" output in the lab like the rest of us for a while...likely a short while.

I heard Robo-arm is going to be no more after this Friday! That's sweet ( no pun intended, of course). Congrats to Josh on getting the Lasik. He's going to look studly without his glasses. Look forward to seeing you guys soon, what are you doing on the 20th?
ReplyDeleteI'm overnight in the hospital after the surgery maybe even 'till Sunday. So we'll just be hangin Harborview style on the 20th.
