Still recovering.

I’m getting around a little bit and have been taking daily walks down the street.  Chris took me home over the weekend so we could spend some time together.  I’m sure my parents welcomed the break as well.  Gracie and Trinity spent the weekend in between the grandparents’ houses.  Chris made me a special dinner of Spring salad, peaches, Praline Chicken, breadsticks, and cream puffs for dessert.  We watched Vantage Point and went to bed.  The next day we took a walk, spent time just being together, and I watched him do dishes and laundry.  I can’t wait to be home so I can help but honestly it was nice to not have to worry about it. 

This whole experience is definitely taking its toll on Gracie.  She’s so ready for all this to be over.  We have limited visits, and she always cries when she has to leave me.  She gave me a photo of her and Trinity “so you won’t forget us”  How sad is that??  She doesn’t understand.  We’re closer than we think we are. 

I go see Dr Bajaj again tomorrow.  Last time she took out my abdomen stitches so I expect this time she’ll take out the stitches across my chest.  I hope.  Last night as we were changing the dressings, we noticed there was definitely a lot of healing that had been happening.  And I’m able to sit and stand on my own now.  I’m walking as much as I can to keep my muscles active.  It’s hard but I’m getting there. 

I read a novel that some friends had brought by.  I was going to start on the Twilight series but I haven’t gotten the books yet.  Chris bought me The Audacity of Hope because I have been wanting to read it forever, and while I feel that I am already researched on my choice for president, I wanted to read Barack Obama’s biography so that I can understand him more.  I have always liked Obama, even when he was a long shot.   So I’ll be absorbed in that book for a few days. 

Nothing else really to say.
