Life is Good

My energy levels are picking up and getting back to normal so I can keep up with the middle school kids for the week. I have 2 different therapies a week and both twice a week. I have a muscle therapy where they work on my back and then I have started strengthening on my right arm. (After surgery) One exercise is doing bicep curls with a 2 lb. weight. I laugh at myself!



In my spare time I keep the game book for the varsity b-ball team. I get to see Ryan too! Also this coming week I get to coach the Fresh-Soph girls s-ball team on Friday and Saturday. I won't be able to hit to them for warm-ups, a player will have to do it, but I am excited about coaching as always.



Life is good, I keep improving and getting better. Little things still bug me at times, but I try not to think about them. The warmer weather is also a good pick-me-up. I am looking forward to gardening since I won't be playing any softball this summer. (Maybe next summer when I can feel all of my right hand!)



Thanks always for the support!

Back into the Swing of Things

I have finished my 2nd week of school now heading into my 3rd! It is great to be back. Very tired and sore still but overall good. Tonight was the first time since November that I am back helping out with the youth group both Jr. and Sr. high! It was a lot of fun. I miss the relationships I have with the kids. They are always entertaining and fun to be around.

This past week I started therapy at my chiropractor in town. I will not let him adjust my back (RIBS!) however, 3 x's a week I get a massage and electrical stem. It feels great when I am done. As always, I keep getting better but just very slowly!

Please pray for my arm and the healing. I get shooting pains in it at times. My two fingers and palm in my right hand are still numb. It just gets annoying at times. Overall, I can't complain. Thinking about where I was 4 months ago and where I am today, God is amazing.

Back to School

Well, the first day back teaching has come and gone and now I am tired! It went really well, but at 3 o'clock I decided that I was definitely exhausted. My back is sore and my arm is bugging me, but I am grateful to be back at it again.

It was good seeing the kids again. I received many hugs and hellos from both students and teachers. Everyone has been great. The PE teachers that I teach with have helped me get the routine down again.

This afternoon I go to my OT to get reevaluated on my right arm. Hopefully then we will be able to start strengthening. If so, it will be another 4 weeks of therapy. As slow as it may go, at least I keep getting better. :)
