september 2, 2007 - i once was lost...

top of the afternoon, friends...

once again, even though i had the best intentions...i failed to get to church today. the meds i'm on make it very difficult to get up before 8am or so. i will try again next sunday.

i worked out with light weights to work my arms and good leg for about an hour this morning. even though i'm very thin, i can tell a difference, particularly in my arms. i want to get back into shape so i can start walking as soon as i can after surgery. i've been using strap-on weights for my injured arm and my good leg, which i think helps alot. i'm up to 125 sit-ups (in my hospital bed, of course..lol).

i'm going to try to make it to peyton's house today for a cookout, if i can. it's always good to get out of the house. it would also be good to see everyone again.

afterwards, i plan to do some grocery shopping. i am out of about everything!!! i guess my appetite has increased...lol

i'm scheduled for an appointment with my plastic surgeon on tuesday. cross your fingers....i hope he'll tell me that my knee is healing satisfactorily and that i'll be ready for the next bone surgery.

otherwise, things are good. each day gets a bit easier. the pain is usually pretty tolerable with the meds i'm on. some nights are better than others, but everything is OK.

squeak - thanks for the email today....it was good hearing from you. you - retire???? no way!

anonymous - "inky" information has been compromised?????? is nothing sacred?

colonel b and brenda - thanks for the words of encouragement and i'm glad you got to spend some time with my friend, kathy mckinney. she's 'good people.'

hope all is well with you and yours and that your sunday is filled with blessings....
