Beautiful Wreck

Yesterday the stitches came out.

I have a four inch scar on my arm - you know I measured it. Kathy suggested I create a tattoo on the scar... Then we laughed a maniacal laugh and moved on.

The good doctor (excellent doctor, really) suggested I am not pushing myself as hard as I should be to get the greatest range of motion to happen.

I was a tad insulted.

I had a five degree increase in movement.

THAT is working it.

Apparently not.

I have to push myself harder; deal with a little bit of uncomfortable for the greater good.

Today I will tell Laura, my OT, I need to push harder to figure out how to move more.

When Trish visited she brought me Trader Joe's Coconut Body Butter.

It is making a WORLD of difference to my scar and the dry skin on my arm.

To top it all off, I feel like I am in the tropics when I use it.

THANK YOU Trish!
Bella left on another adventure yesterday. She is off to Alaska! Alas, her flight was delayed six and a half hours. They ended up arriving in Minnesota at 3:00am and getting to a hotel at 4:00am.

^^ CLICK on this to SEE it! ^^
Looking at the Itinerary it doesn't seem like they will be missing anything. It is a scheduled travel day to get from Anchorage to Denali National Park.

The best part of the flight delay is that travel insurance kicked in and they have $150 today and tomorrow to use for reasonable purchases. They had an awesome dinner last night.

The music today is not my from my "normal" wheelhouse. Give it a listen. It is most excellent.

From one beautiful wreck to another, I wish you all love.

When all is taken away, don't let my heart be changed.
Let me always sing Hallelujah
When I feel afraid, don't let my hope be erased
Let me always sing Hallelujah.
Let me always sing Hallelujah.

I will always sing
I will always sing
Here's my broken hallelujah.

Heading to Trader Joes tonight or tomorrow night so there's more of that Coconut Body Butter coming to support you amping up the rehab. We have a concert to go do in 11 days, darn it!
