Looking good; Feeling good

Some how the past few weeks have been missed. I have been pretty much in the house (I'm not able to take the dogs out, so I don't really go out unless I'm leaving!) It was so nice yesterday and I looked at the weather and it's never going to happen until spring again! Sadly winter has come. I realize it's the middle of November, but I am stuck at the middle of October.

I am feeling great, much better than I expected. I have pretty good range of motion and not in too much pain. The cold is weird on my incision. It almost feels like an open hole where cold air is blowing down into my spine. My mom said I'm nuts, but it's true! She crocheted me this really wide headband to cover my ears and incision so they don't get all blustery. I'm going to be alone tomorrow afternoon and most of next week. I'm hoping to do some crafting. I still really can't do much cleaning wise (except dusting and really, who does that!?)

There are so many birthdays coming up! My dad's 60^th, my 29^th, my nephew's first, my brother-in-law's 43^rd. The list keeps going. So far I think they're coordinated well. Mom and I watched “God's Not Dead” this morning and I want to buy it but will wait until the price drops a little. I'm not putting a price on God, but I don't want to pay $25 for a DVD now when it will be $15 in a few weeks. Loved the movie! It was very real-world and hopeful.

I'm feeling good and going for fasting lab work tomorrow for my cholesterol and routine labs. Hopefully get that out of the way, renew my driver's license and get my glasses adjusted. It seems where they folded skin to close the incision, it pulled my ears back just a smidge and now my glasses are jabbing the back of my ears. Whew, what a time!
