A Good Week

Many things this week to be thankful for:

1. A room that overlooks the beautiful Dallas skyline, and the Fair Park fireworks on Wednesday night.
2. Strength to walk 200 feet in a walker, 10 times worth of progress in just a few days.
3. Good chai latte downstairs, easily reheat-able in 45 seconds to the perfect temperature.  
4. Delicious chicken strips for lunch.  
5. A therapist who understands that sometimes you don't have the energy to get up and do things, but one who will talk you into a 'happy place' and let you fall asleep.
6. Nurses and techs and therapists who know how to knock and walk softly.  (notice I don't include doctors here...)
7. Strong legs that stand with confidence more and more.
8. Strong arms that can move smoother every day.
9. Winning a pretty painted patriotic flower pot at a bingo game!  (Yeah for recreational therapy!) 
10. Lastly, greatly reduced overall swelling.  Shoes and socks fit almost perfectly again.

Happy Friday!
