Friday - Whew!!

Well, this rehab stuff every day has been tough for me, but I am proud to say I made it thru the first 5 days!  For some reason, yesterday was the hardest for me, even though I was pretty much doing the same things each day.  I walked 30 minutes on the treadmill (I upped it to 1.1mph - yee haw!), then did leg raises and leg lifts with 5 lb ankle weights (20 reps each leg for each exercise), and finally 5 minutes of arm exercises on what I call the "arm bicycle".  With rest in between each activity, I am usually there about an hour.

I have been here a little over a week now, and am settling in well.  Sherman is getting more spoiled, if that is possible.  Paul takes him for walks thru the neighborhood and I think they both enjoy it.  Kristi and Paul are cooking good meals for me, and really taking care of my needs.  Sherman may not be the only one who gets spoiled!

I did want to thank everyone who has sent cards and emails wishing me well.  I appreciate them so much!  It makes it so much easier knowing that I have so many people praying for me, thinking of me, and wishing me well!  I am so blessed!
