Hi Stampers :
Happy Thursday friends !
I am very blessed by all of you who sent me get well wishes you will never know how you have touched my heart!
These AWESOME cards came from :
- Tracy Bradley
- Mary K Wessling
- Lisa Anne Crispi
It seems like my whole life turned upside down that day I fell and I must admit over the last few weeks I have had a few pitty party days .
( Very Thankful for my hubby's big shoulders to cry on) .
I think Leslie said it all on the very 1st day I met her for PT in my home . She said with the last 2 knee replacements ( 2005/ 2007) both were scheduled and with this accident totally out of the blue turned everything upside down.
The little things I miss the most cooking / cleaning / driving etc… in some ways I feel so helpless. The progress is moving along I just wish it were quicker . I get tired sitting up for more than 1-2 hours. Doctor says this will get better in time, just alot of healing going on in my leg right now .
Getting more stable in my walking but still have to think going up and down stairs …. Up with the good / Down with the bad .
The Goal is to have me walking as if NO one would ever know what has happened .Very Thankful for everyone who has/had a part in my healing and recovery and so very Blessed to have all of you praying for me .
Seen the Doctor who did my surgery on Monday and he is pretty impressed with how far I have come in 3 weeks with such an massive surgery .
He gave mea Rx for 4 weeks of out patient therapy, Which therapy starts today … my 1st appointment was Tuesday was mainly assessment on my in home PT progress and where I am right now . I am happy to report since last friday with Leslie
- Friday I got to 80 degrees myself
- Tuesday I got to 88 degrees ( cold bend )
- Friday with Leslie was 92 degrees
- Tuesday with Ashley ( out patient ) 95 degrees ( cold bend )
I was seriously so happy that I actually got better when I thought I would have a set back from Friday – Tuesday with no Therapist for 4 days and just me doing all the excerises myself ~ Praise God !
Earlier this week I was able to film a video which hasn't happened since Jan 31, 2013 when I fell . I am so excited to say that video will be posted tomorrow . Thank you all so much for your patience through all this .
1 thing that I really miss is making videos and having fun stamping with all of you . Not sure when everything will be rolling at 100% but we are getting there 1 day at a time & I am very excited.
Not sure how long but hopefully very soon we will be back to stamping together again via my videos on Thursdays and Fridays.
Just know I am missing all of you as much as you are missing me .
Sending BIG hugs to all of you !!!
Have a Great day !
Until later..Happy Stampin!
Hang in there! It sounds like you are making wonderful progress. Can’t wait for your video, but I’ve enjoyed seeing all of the get well cards. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Dawn,
I’ve been following your blog for a while now and am so sorry to hear about your fall. I know pretty much how you are feeling. I had hip surgery on 12/26 and was on a walker for 6 weeks, putting no weight on my left leg/hip. Man was that hard to depend on someone else to do everything, I mean everything, for me. I am now using a cane, which is so much better. I have missed doing cards as well. You hang in there and I’ve been praying for you and your family.
Dear Dawn
So happy that you are mending in your physical body and your spiritual one as well…nothing wrong with a pity party now and then…you already know the perks of a grateful heart as you have shared often…just try to remember you are working right now and very hard…you are not “doing nothing” Your job now is to help your leg heal and sounds to me like you are doing it right
many blessings

Hi Dawn – My Dad’s PT told him to remember The good go to heave and the bad go to H*ll. It’s been 18 years and I have never forgotten that. Glad you are on the mend. Take care of yourself.
