Recovery

It's been six and a half weeks since I've fallen off the ladder and broken my wrists.  At first I thought my recovery was going great.  I was back to work, I was building strength, and I was taking care of my own personal needs.  When I went back to the doctor, he even let me decide if I wanted to go to physical therapy or continue with what I'd been doing since I was making such good progress.  But the down side, the daily pain is wearing me out.  Even though I'm back to what would seem a pretty normal life, I feel like I'm faking it.  People ask how I'm doing and I say great, well I'm not, I hate it.  I hate not exercising, I hate not feeling good and I hate being in pain.  The bright side, of course, which I try really hard to keep in mind, is that the injury could have been so much worse and that every day I am getting better so I really don't have much to complain about. With that, I'm going to try and keep a positive outlook.  I need to get back to convincing my mind that I'm doing great!


My daughter just turned 19.  We went to the Ducks game for her birthday.  We had a great time.  The first five or so minutes there was a complete downpour of rain, which set the tone for a bit of a chilly game, but it did stay dry the rest of the game which was awesome! 

Next week Game Day is coming, I've not gone to Game Day before.  I always think it sounds like such a fun idea, but it makes for such a long day.  Get there at 4:00 a.m. and then the game doesn't even start until 7:15, I might be getting too old to keep up with that type of day without a nap in the middle. Ha!

Ok, I've been watching DIY BLOG CABIN all morning, but I think its time to actually get up and get something done today!
