Daily Progress

Hello! Thank you all for the calls and cards and plants and other well wishes. Knowing that you're pulling for me means a lot.

I think I'm getting a little bit stronger each day. Today I've done several things by myself that I hadn't been able to do, like brush my teeth and get out of bed. You don't realize how interconnected all of your muscle groups are until they cut a couple. Mom and I removed the bandages this morning and I think that has made it easier for me to move around. Hopefully the drains will be removed on Thursday because I think that will also help me move a little easier. I can't wait to be allowed to take a shower and do some of the other things we take for granted when we're in one piece.

I'll try to keep you posted on any progress.
