WOW

Hi everybody, it's me again. I just wanted to inform you of my good day I had today.

As most everybody knows I have a little bit of a car obsession. I love driving, and so when I can't drive for 2 months, I sort of get a little grumpy and depressed. Especially when I catch a glimpse of my car sitting all alone in the corner of the driveway. Poor thing.

Well, today I got home from rehab after riding in a handicap transport van for the third time and thought, this isn't "cool", I want to drive. It has been 5 weeks so what would it hurt to ask? (they told me 6-8 weeks) I called the nurse practitioner, and she said to check with physical therapy. I called them and talk to 2 of the guys that have seen my progress. We all agreed that it was time to ease into it. (I think there was a little bit of sympathy there too. You know, a 'guy' thing)

In about 45 seconds, I was off the phone, down the stairs, in the car and on the road. I drove to the nearest Borders book store and bought...(surprise)... a couple of car magazines. AAHHH. I got my fix.

Then, when I got back to the house to meet the home infusion nurse, she informed me that the Doctor called her to have her take out my I.V. today. Complete surprise!

So needless to say, I'm a quite bit more free today.

Just thought I'd share.

Bye Bye.

P.S. To add a big fat cherry on top of all of this, Jim (my host dad) knew that the idea of my car sitting under weeks and weeks of dirt, twigs and sap from the tree, was torturing me, he hand washed it on Sunday to surprise me. How-amazing-is-this-family?
