Saturday

Well today was a fantastic day to say the least. First of all I decided to 'graduate' myself to a cane. The people in PT suggested I use one and not the walker and I did fairly well so today I decided that to get around the house I would use my cane and no walker. I did good all day with it! I was so proud of myself. Also I have managed to completely avoid the refrigerator [LOL!]. I worked on my notes for my Child Development class that is upcoming and I noticed that I was taking the information and lecture in a lot easier than just four days ago. Dr Pilcher told me about my memory and all with its workings just after surgery. Beth and I went to church and had some dinner when we got home. Of course I had the cordless phone with me in the family room to answer during the day. Well, when it came time to leave for church I put the phone in my pocket so I could use the walker to get to the base and put it back. I could blame short term memory [lol] as what I did was completely forgot to put the phone on the base unit. Yep, it went to church with me and back home again as I completely forgot I had it. Not being able to find it Beth his the pager button and I heard it ring so I picked up the cushions on the couch but could not find it, yet I heard it. Then the light bulb went off and I realized it was in my pocket. Beth got a great laugh out of it. Over all it was a good day and I plan on using the cane more and more so I will not need the walker and just a cane. I am just very aware that my head, not leg, had 65 staples in it and now has 6 titanium plates with screws holding it together for a reason so be careful! Still my recovery is nothing short of a miracle and God's hand is so evident in my life. I am so thrilled and want so much to share with others. Thanks and God Bless
