Walkin with my Walker!



Wed. March 19 I went for a stroll outside and surprised a few neighbors.  Me, my walker, my kiddos and my momma made it down the street to the Good's and across the street to the Thompson's.  We must of been a site to see, me and my posse. It felt good to be outside and with kids.  I am  feeling a little incisional tightness, facial numbness, facial swelling and fine motor difficulties on the right side.  The doctor states all par for the coarse.  Look at that smile!

Mom has been quite the angel, nothing like having momma here.  She is so helpful and really great company.  I can not manage half of the stuff I thought I would be capable of.  She is perfect with the kids allowing me some rest time.  So far I have talked her into sneaking me out for a frozen yogurt and fruit smoothy.  I tried to get her to drop me off at the movies, but she did not fall for that one.  I could go missing for days.  Michelle's dinners are coming in handy and they are hitting the spot.  I like spicy foods (not much has changed there) because I have this constant metallic taste and spicy foods seem to do the trick.  Oh yea!   I had a big break through.  Those who know me well know I love food.  I had my first spontaneous moan to food. MMMMMMMmmmmm!  Not forced it just came out.  That's proof that I am feeling better and I have Michelle's taco soup to thank for it.  Thank you everyone still for all the cards, emails, and flowers.  My tennis partner Stephanie sent a darling necklace and I am wearing it now.  I miss everyone.  Thanks for keeping me so close to your hearts and thoughts.  Have a Happy Easter!  Love Dara
