Another appointment-April 21, 2009

Hello again,
I had yet another appointment again with my specialist. I am glad to say that it was another good appointment with no bad news! Actually quite the opposite. My specialist is very pleased with my progress and I do not have to see him again for another 6 months!!! So either I am getting better or he is getting tired of me! LOL Just kidding. Obviously I am improving. lol It was neat because I basically only had to give him updates on my progress and didn't really have any questions or really any complaints other than I wish it didn't take so long to get better. I meant it as a joke but I don't know if he got it. Oh well. I joke about my lack of patience alot. Eventually maybe I will learn patience and it won't be so bad! lol He was quite impressed with me driving for the first time since before the first surgery despite my problems with being able to shoulder check still. I still have to work on that. Also getting into a grocery store was impressive to him I think and I feel encouraged that I am slowly progressing and getting better. It may seem like it takes forever at times but before I know it, it will be a memory and not seem quite so bad. I just have to hold onto that thought when things get tough. As always though-I was very exhausted from the whole trip and slept incredibly well overnight-nothing could have woke me! Also today I took a few naps but I could still use a bit more rest. I am going to go to bed early I think. I wonder if I am getting older because going to bed early is so nice and I look forward to sleeping! lol The odd thing is that despite being so exhausted sometimes, I can't really sleep past 7am. I wonder why because I am at a point in my life where I can sleep till 8am if I want but I still can't sleep in any longer. Oh well. It is good that I am up earlier so I can make up for the time that is spent in naps! LOL
