Hi.
Today has been quite a day! Is my official one-year! Pretty much insane when you stop and think about how far I've come in only one year. Just looking at those pictures from day one in the hospital really hits it home!
So today has been a day of celebration. I made cupcakes to bring into work - funfetti, of course. But let's start at the beginning. I had Jimmy pick me up this morning and drive me to work at approximately the butt crack of dawn. Just a little extra precaution to make sure that I finally actually made it into work on the 18th of August. And he was nice enough to drop me off at the gym so I could still do yoga class this morning. Yoga was, of course, awesome! In the very beginning of class the teacher dedicated the class to me. And the best part of it was at the very end when we finished five minutes early and then proceeded to do the pig pose. The pig pose pretty much consists of stuffing your face full of cupcake while sitting in a yoga class. :-)
Then I got to enjoy a nice lunch with Jonah. We went and had Japanese food. Yum! And it has been pretty shocking the number of people who have taken time to say to me today how glad they are that I'm back. I am full of a nice warm and fuzzy feeling. And Jimmy agreed to take me home at the end of the day too. Then Josh and I have dinner reservations to have our own little celebration tonight. We're having dinner at Benihana. Should be tasty!
Don't think I've mentioned it yet but I finally got my Bioness! It is awesome! And I use it every day twice a day. I usually use it first thing in the morning when I get up and then try to cram it in somewhere else during the day too. When I first got it I started with 20 minute sessions. Now I'm up to one hour sessions. And I think it might actually be helping. It's supposed to be really good for tone management and God knows I need that!
Had a pretty big event this weekend too. Went out to my sister's house on the Kitsap Peninsula on Saturday to a BBQ. Food and company was great but I think my favorite part was all the animals. Got to see the pigs and piglets, the ducks, the goats, the turkeys, the dogs, and the cats. Freakin' fantastic! So cute!
That's just about all I've got for now. Hope you're having a good day.

Hi Angela,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a wonderful, super fab and inspirational recovery in your first year. I have been reading your posts (and at the beginning, your mom's posts)from the beginning. You and everyone that loves you are amazing. I know, I sit back and read all that has been written and have not commented until now BUT this calls for me to come out of my lurking :) and acknowledge all your progress. Sending only the best healing vibes and prayers.
Your un-met friend in Amgen Bothell,

Ang! We are praising Jesus today for you today... and all the Lord has done in this past year! He is the God of impossibilities!! Your life and witness is an inspiration and encouragement. I often send friends your blog link when they are going through incredibly difficult seasons... your ability to be so honest and genuine in your walk with Jesus through your recovery has been incredible. You demonstrate to so many in what it looks like to live authentically for Jesus alone... no matter what. You rock, Ang. And... it was so great to be with you the other day! We appreciate you and Josh more than you know.

Just a note to say that I was thinking and praying for you and praising God for you [and Josh, too] today!!!

God is good and you & Josh belong to him before, during and after that crazy accident! So thankful for a God who cares about our hearts and our bodies! Thankful and amazed at how he has changed not only your lives but others through it. Here's to God using you more in the years to come for His glory!
