I am blessed.

This weekend was the most fun I have had since my injury. What did I do, you ask? Well it started on Friday. The boy and I drove to Kirsty's house and went swimming and just hung out. Not planned, but we ended up staying the night. The pain level in my knee only hit a total of 1 or 2 the whole evening. My back is a slightly different story. Then on Saturday the boy and I got home by 11, almost running out of gas. We walk in the front door and Patrick says it's hot in this house we should go buy another fan. For the same price as another "good" fan, we got another room a/c. Our house is now comfortable, as it should be. Then Kirsty and family came down to our house (in fact Jesse helped Patrick finish installing the a/c) and hung out. Patrick and Jesse both drank, Kirsty and I had our normal movie night. Incidentally, they ended up crashing at our house. The rest of Sunday and Monday were not eventful.

Now you might say, "but Christine, Friday and Saturday weren't that eventful either," but I have to disagree. Being able to walk around my house without hesitation, and being able to play with Abby without hesitation, become such a success and so eventful that it feels like any other major event in a normal persons life.

As I stated, I am having minor issues with my back. Of course, my scars are itching. Definitely a good sign of healing. However, there is a pain associated with and around the scars. One of the actual scars has a loss of feeling to it; but everywhere around it at times will hurt. My knee is trying to overpower my stimulator. Last night as I was laying down for bed, all of a sudden sharp shooting pain right into my knee, immediately started crying, and immediately started fumbling for my remote. The moment I was able to turn up the stimulation, was the moment I was able to stop crying. It felt so nice to be able to make the pain stop like that.

Ok, enough rambling.
