Day 52, AYAT- I was doing well and improving. I was concerned about the blood thinners they weee giving me because I was supposed to have surgery the next day. I don’t remember a lot about that day. I certainly was not looking to what I would be like a year after. I think I would be proud of what I’ve done so far and I probably would’ve pushed myself a whole lot harder. During that time I spent thinking about the day and how I could make that day better. I tried to do some thing new and celebrate those accomplishments. One of my nurses that I had in the beginning had taught me to celebrate all of the little accomplishments. After being able to do little things which is all I was able to do at the time, she praised me and said, “You did it.” To this day. I still use that phrase.

Today: I am catching a red eye flight to Houston. The conference starts tomorrow and I’m soooo excited. I’m not going to get much sleep but the information that I will learn will make it worth it. So I’m writing my post sitting here waiting for the plane. at 2 o’clock this morning I was woken up by one of the dogs, screaming its head off. I was watching a friend of mine’s dog and that was the dog that screamed. I jumped out of bed and ran out of my bedroom. I was attacked by my cat. I don’t know what possessed her to be so crazy but I know a scratch pattern across the top of my foot which is preventing me from wearing shoes comfortably. Not great timing considering I will be walking all over. I still love the little girl. I still never figured out what caused the dog to scream. No blood no scratches no tears. I’m thinking it was a nightmare.
