Gratitude and an Update from Sheila

I am back home (as of noon Tuesday) and moving around well. I’ve done some stretches to get the full range of motion in my right arm and I took a walk around the neighborhood with my mom. I also took a shower. The pain is barely noticeable – hard to believe!

The area of stitches is mostly just very tight and stiff. I’m not overly tired or groggy at all, although I have promised several people (my mom included) that I will just rest.

I have plenty of books and movies, so I will stick to that plan. We’re set for food, too – lots of leftovers in the fridge as well as one meal coming Saturday.

I want to tell everyone how much I appreciate the cards, flowers, calls, emails, etc. It sounds so trite to just say, “thank you.” Receiving everyone’s well-wishes is like getting a little gift every 10 minutes!

I'm so glad you're doing this well! I'm having a hard time believing that it doesn't hurt, but hey, that's awesome.

Yes, rest. And eat.

Sheila,

It's great to hear you're feeling well. Rest up and enjoy the time away from work, even if it is writing.
