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.
