prayforPuella

hey look, a webpage.. guess I better update it.

The botox injection for my shoulder didn't happen.  It was postponed until this Tuesday.

I took a vision test for driving and it didn't go so well.  while my reading was okay, my field of vision is still diminished on the left side and my depth perception was off.  I've been playing driving games on the xbox and if it's any indication I'm not ready to get behind the wheel.
I have enjoyed a few showers.. my toes are all healed and the hot water feels fantastic.  
Our dog, Puella, had surgery this week and is recovering now.  She had a small lump removed... nothing life-threatening ... just something boxers her age are prone to.  It will be a week or so until she's back to normal.. for now she's kind of slow and pathetic.  I can sympathize with her and the pains of post-surgery recovery.  
Therapy continues slowly.  My walking is improving.. My cadence is picking up and I'm getting very close to using a cane.  My therapist wants me to take over therapy for my left arm.  I'm trying to find activities I can manage with an immobile left hand.. hitting light switches and opening doors.  We also have to keep my shoulder stretched which means letting dad inflict pain on me frequently.

Please add Puella to your prayers and hopefully she'll be back to her old playful-self soon. Thanks.
