Buffalo and day 1 of Land therapy

Well I had an absolutely wonderful weekend in Buffalo, NY! I spent 3 glorious days with my gal pals Margaret, Daniella and Nerissa and we hung out, went to Marineland in Canada, played Spades and went to the beach! 

This is us at Marineland in Canada :)

 

 

 

 

 

I'm super lucky to have amazing friends from all aspects of my life! :) I didn't want to leave!!!!!

Today I also had my first land therapy session and it was tough!!!! But, it will get better and better every day and each time I am one step closer to being all better!

Quick post here guys and gals:

The big important thing for all to know is that I will be started with 1 land and 1aqua session at therapy for the next 4 weeks. So, twice a week for four weeks I will do one water session and one land session a week--it swimming and exercising in the pool vs on stationary bicycles and standing up, etc. It's going to be harder but it will be more progressive for my leg and that's what's important.

Terrell came by tonight and that was so awesome! We caught up, rode the golf cart, ate dinner and watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, haha! It was really a great time. :)
Thursday I get to see Zane! And then Friday morning we leave to take me to Buffalo!!! I can't wait!!

Then next week is almost the 4th of July, can you believe it??? I just can't wait to work!!!

Have a good weekend y'all, you know I will!

Working on it

So therapy has been going really well, I am being re-evaluated tomorrow and they will decide if I should stay with 2 water therapy sessions a week, or if maybe we change it to 1 water 1 land, we will see!

Otherwise, family weekend was really fun! It was a little bit of a bummer not being comfortable walking around a lot and being tired much more easily, but everyone was really great and we had a fantastic time. Here's a photo, it's kind of small since it was taken on a cell phone, but, it's nice :) We're a good-lookin' bunch!

Friday night I got to see Erica and meet her boy Isaac! We had some pretty good Chinese/Japanese food and BUBBLE TEA. If you've never had Bubble Tea you need to get on that, it is SO DELICIOUS.

This past Saturday my mom, Jeff and I went to a graduation party for the one daughter of a family we've known for forever. It was a fun time, a lot of repeating what happened/how I'm doing/what the Cruise job is, but that's ok. We had a fun time! My mom and I also went and got manicures, just for fun.

Sunday we hung out up at our lake and talked to some neighbors and then I had a lovely video chat with my bff Daniella!

Had therapy this morning and my mom and I are going to get lunch at 1 and then see a movie at 2:20! It's been a big effort to keep me entertained so that I don't go stir crazy being in the house all the time!

Hope y'all are doing well :)

Hello dear readers

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted!

I had a fabulous weekend celebrating my friends Bryan and Mary getting married (see Facebook for photos). I've been sore ever since--I think I pushed myself a little too hard--but it was worth it. Everything was beautiful and it was awesome being with my "Movie Nighters" again (aka all my high school friends, or, almost all of them anyway).

I've been doing my water therapy 2 times a week, and starting on Monday I will be doing weight-bearing things on my right leg. So far we've just been working on strength and increasing bone density so that it can handle the weight-bearing. I pretty much  just walk around the pool for awhile, do some leg-lifts, bicycle moves, mini squats, etc. Hopefully my body responds quickly to the weight bearing so that I can move on with my life sooooooooooon.....

My family is going on vacation this weekend to a cottage that some friends of our own up on Marblehead (near Sandusky, Ohio). I am so excited!! :) It says 40% chance of rain as of right now, but, we're still all going to have a blast!
