Daybook 11-8-12

Outside my window: Last I heard it was only 21 degrees here because of the Winter Storm hitting this area now. I cant see outside but I can still here the strong winds and that kinda scares me. 

I am thinking... I am thinking about my best friend who isnt feeling to great tonight and for the family of a lady I used to take care off who passed away last night. I am rather missing the people back home. 

I am thankful... I am thankful for my family and friends who have taken the time over the last few weeks to check in and talk and pray with and for me. I was able to practice standing with the new leg today and also take 4 steps at the bars in the P.T. 

In the Kitchen... I'm in the hospital still so Im still not sure what happens in the kitchen here but I think this late it is probably empty. 

I am wearing... I am wearing my own PJs! I have been making it a point to get myself dressed and back into my pjs everyday to try and rebuild my strength. So far I am 2 for 3 of changing my clothes twice a day. 

I am creating... I'm still working on the same blanket but I am almost finished. I cant wait to show everyone what it looks like but because it is a surprise and hard to take pictures here; everyone is going to have to wait. Sorry. 

I am going... no where for awhile but found out that I should be home the week before Christmas! Cant wait! 

I am wondering... How I could possibly send a care package to my younger sister who is in college and about to start finals season. 

I am reading... My bible and a book my sister lent me called Good Omens. (Still the same thing because I have been kinda slow on reading the book)

I am hoping... That everyone who was hit with the hurricane and was left without heat for this bad winter storm has a semi warm place to stay. This is really effecting a lot. 

I am looking forward to... Learning more how to walk, and function again. Now that things are picking up in P.T. I am excited to be working so hard even though it hurts. I am also looking forward to Christmas home with my best friends and family. 

I am learning... I am learning how to be patient for one. I am learning how to stand with the prosthetic as well as relearning how to walk. I have learned how to dress and bathe myself without my leg and I have also learned a lot of new tricks from some other patients I have met here thanks to my doctor. :0)

Around the house... Well I'm sure the craft supplies are still all over my house however I was told this week my sister has invaded so Im sure they are in a pile in the corner somewhere. 

I am pondering... How long this happy blanket might take and what colors to do in the next one. 

A Favorite Quote for the day: 

One of my favorite things... my best friend Beth. I refer to her as my sunshine but really I have been so blessed to have her in my life in the last year. Its amazing to have a friend who I can talk to about no matter what I'm feeling and it has really helped me not only get through a lot of this but also keep my faith strong in the process. 

A few plans for the rest of the week: Still resting a lot but also doing a lot of P.T. otherwise crocheting hopefully.
