My Daily Picture

Crazy to think after 1 month my arm is "worse" than it was before surgery! - But it is... I can it raise it as high as I could before. I'm getting up and about and feeling better. I will be off work another 4 weeks! 

Douglas' room is getting a remodel, so his mattress is on the floor, he has no desk...does that stop him. NO WAY. This is how Douglas does school! 

Anthony was off work so he had the pleasure of being my "UBER" driver...when we arrived at the doctor's office in Redlands it was actually SNOWING! We couldn't stay out in it, or build a snowman, but we did take time for a picture! 

I have no idea how I did it, but there is a muscle on my right side that is so out of whack it hurts to breathe. When we returned home from the Gala Saturday night I could barely make it into the house I was in so much pain. Perhaps I am working my arm to hard and over compensating. Perhaps I am tense when out in public. Whatever is happening it is a spiral of backwards progress. I try so hard to have a positive attitude, to work hard, to be ready to go back to work... I have exactly 2 weeks left and sometimes I don't see how it will be possible. I was awake last night every hour. If I take pain medication it gives me  headache and I need to "recover" for a full day. - I was useless yesterday - so last night I braved the night - and now I'm functioning on no sleep. I know it will get better. I know I didn't take 5 weeks off to enjoy myself. But 5 weeks of constant struggle and I'm going to go back exhausted and cranky. I want to go back refreshed and able to...

We had a wonderful time celebrating the 65th Anniversary of St. Catherine of Alexandria School last night. Amazing event! I bought myself a piece of SCA, a desk decorated by current Super Saints.

It has been raining a lot, so Anthony has been home. The girls were off for Lincoln's Birthday so we decided to head to Disneyland today and have a Handicapped adventure day. It was really fun! Here is our agenda for the day: Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln ride the Train around Disneyland (pictured above) Main Street Cinema Starbucks Tiki Room Jungle Cruise Tarzan's tree house Fed ducks gold fish crackers Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Megan and Dougga single rider Splash Mountain Pizza Planet for lunch Mark Twain river boat Pirates Cove Mommy got balloon as we were leaving

It was really nice... yesterday and today my boss called me to keep me posted on things going on at work he thought I should know. I know I should be resting, but next to my family work is my everything. Not being there hurts worse than my shoulder. Being connected and discussing the issues with him as if I were there had healing powers!
