Fabulous Friday Wake-up

Hey, got good news this AM!!!  AJ had speech therapy this morning and was able to swallow A LOT more than he has been able to!!  WOO HOO!!  They will work with him all weekend and then probably Monday or Tuesday, do the FORMAL swallowing eval (x-ray with barium, and a variety of thickness of foods...pudding, etc.).  The doc in charge of his rehab said they are going to have their team talk and decide how long to keep him here.  The fact that he's already done stairs on the first day of rehab is very encouraging to them. 

Right now, he's working on visual stuff, playing Mah Jong on the computer.  In a minute, he's going to play the Wii.  OT is fun!  LOL! 

Yea AJ!!!  That is so encouraging.  I LOVE my Wii, hope has just as much fun.

At work sipping on my iced tea this morning.  Today is going to be a fantastic day beause its F R I D A Y.  While its not lining up to be the best weekend, weather wise,  working in the yard is my salvation and relaxation.  Management here at work is pushing for us to work overtime tomorrow but no, dangit, 40 + hours during the week is enough.  They are not getting my weekends too.

QOTD.  I to am in a position at work where I am constantly lied to.  I tend to sometimes start out a conversation with a client in the negative expecting a lie.  My NOT to do list is to NOT mistrust people until I am given a reason.  Also NOT to be negative.

Morning Everyone. 

TGIF - it is my son's last Friday of school.  They are out for the year next Thursday, and then I will officially have a 1st grader. 

I am trying to rework my eating schedule around my newly prescribes meds, they all seem to have to be taken with food.  I was having issues with prednisone and I talked to the doc about it yesterday, he told me I need to keep reminding him about my "gut rerouting" when he prescribes med.   So he broke it apart for me, which seemed to help a bit. 

QOTD - the top of my Not to do list is dwell on the negatives of my ongoing back/leg/foot problems, and focus on the positives.  One major is the fact that it is my left leg and not my right.  It if was my right leg, I would have lost my driving priveledges yesterday.  2nd is part of the physical therapy is massage therapy - how can you go wrong having the insurance company pay for massages once a week for a while. 

Have a great weekend everyone

Good Morning Everyone!

It has been a busy week. Last weekend was our shower and Mom was here until yesterday so I am just getting life back to normal. I think I am finally getting all the Littles things put away and organized from the shower.. So this weekend I am hoping to rest a little. My DH is laid off next week from work.. they have to take at least 1 week every quarter this year.. And he is doing projects around the house so I need to get him motivated so we will head to the hardware store to get what we need.

QOTD: I think lately it has been focusing on not dwelling on the past... things from my childhood, hurt feelings in my relationships with family members and remembering how I was when I was "fat"... I am still heavy but there are times I still look in the mirror and see that fat girl... so it is hard... Learning to put those away and not dwell on them is a positive step in the right direction.

Brenda- have fun downtown... don't get to much at Astoria! LOL

Tina- I am so glad to hear things are looking up for AJ... My SIL is an OT I will have to ask her if they use the Wii I have never heard of that... it is cool though!

Have a great day everyone!

They were explaining the program to us the other day.  One of the OT's got a big grant for all of this equipment.  It's pretty new in their department (the wii and computer aspect).  It's cool.  A different way to work on focus, hand-eye, that kind of thing.
