Progress report...

with all the things going on the last couple of weeks here...
I am still feeling better than I have in a long time...
I have never asked God to step in and remove what I have before...
I feel really guilty asking for anything for myself...
but the last part of last year I began to ask for me...
HIS SPIRIT has been leading me in directions that are  helping...
we began physical therapy here at home in November...
after 2 months, I can now stand without pain...
the guys have been working on me twice a day and today was my first day of doing it three times...
we began on the lower back and legs...
and I began working slowly...
very slowly on the upper back, neck and arm area the first of the month...
it's been over a year since I felt this good...
and with what I have...
my muscles would not retain tone...
every day I would wake up the same and have to work through it...
only to lose it all by the next morning...
I am retaining tone!
I haven't done that in 10 years...
so, thank  you for all of your prayers...
I know they are a big part of this...
and I want to thank GOD for allowing this to happen...
I can stand now to take a quick shower, but only use the stool if I am going to be in there longer if wash my hair...
I can stand and cook and wash dishes without the kitchen stool...
by spring...
I want to able to walk the yard without the chair...
I will still use it for longer walks until I get stronger...
and I know this is going to take a long time...
and I would like to be 100%...
but if this is it...
it's better than where I have been...
and I am so grateful...

Carrot holdup...

I love it...
a bunny with a weapon...
and a little attitude...
and a reminder to feed our outside friends when it snows and covers their food supplies...

what used to be...

this is so pretty...
what is coming...
forsythia...
yucca...
hydrangea...
mums...
Doofus standing guard...
who knows over what...
more mums...
very cloudy and gray out today...
this is the only color to be found...

Comments crack me up...

 notice a theme about Johnny Depp....lol....You're not a stalker, are you?


a stalker....
yeah...
with a wheel chair...
LOL
Donnie, you crack me up!

Did you know?

there's another movie coming?
and Captain Jack can't hear the thump, thump?
( if he would only stand close to me, there would be a thump, thump he could hear)
the trailer is hilarious and I can't wait to see it...
Donna had heard rumors that there was a Capt Jack local sighting here...
I have to report that that rumor was false...
or he would be locked in my closet now...

Tech difficulties...

everyone locally here and maybe more wide spread is having trouble with internet explorer loading...
sometimes it won't load at all...
aggravating!!!!
I finally got something to load...
I am even having problems leaving comments...
is anyone else having problems?
I googled and found something that IE had a virus...
may have to switch servers...
yippee...
if you don't hear from me...
I'm here rolling my eyes and tapping my fingers...
growing older by the minute...
waiting forever...
for this thing to work!
