Thursday Night, September 20th

Well we made it past ninteen days (the amount of time Allie was home the last time before going back in) so I am breathing again. Not supersticous but then again?

Good day for Allie and I today but she was very rough on Nancy and even though you can rationalize the injury, words sting never the less and when you mix that with tired, tired, tired it is a recipe for well let's just go to bed and have a better day tomorrow.

I took Allie to therapy today and even though you want to ask each therapist how she is doing everytime you go I have resisted. I know she is doing well and will check in once a week - intellectually I know this is not an overnight process and I want to hear the therapist tell me that she is doing awesome and doesn;t have to come anymore but that day will and I just have to hold myself back. It's kind of like the old days and I am sure I am like every parent who likes to hear how well thier child is doing . It's a pride thing I guess, we are all so proud of our children and I am just as proud of her at this moment then I have ever been. One thing I especially like is when she comes out of the therapy room and she is smiling and upbeat and she seems to have had a good time. She is not frustrated or angry - just a little girl coming home from another day at school and all went well on the playground.

After therapy it was off to lunch and then some shopping and back to the office. Nancy is having alot of fun being back at work and I have to admit I am so glad to have her back. her energy is incredible and her smile - like always puts a glow around the building - that's what attracts new patients to our practice.

Allie is going to work tomorrow. She was going to start off with one or two takes for breakfast but the guests cancelled so she will be going in for lunch. Yikes! The boss and I are good friends and they all love Allie so much they will and always have treated her as one of their own family. While I am comfortable, it will be the first time she is away from Nancy or myself and I am having anxiety. Kimmi will never give Allie more than she can handle I just want her to do so well and it's like a parent letting go - I just don't want her to get hurt in any way and I want her to be proud of herself for the job she has done and I am sure she will be.

The web site is coming slow and I am beginning to get frustrated. Maybe I am looking to start to big and just need to take this into my own hands and get something up and then work on refining it from there. I will be having lunch with the flylady tomorrow to seek out some help and advice. Some of her advice today was to get my own internet radio show so that is now done and Full Recovery Radio will make its debut on October 2nd at 7pm - 8-pm. The time and day may change but will be every Tuesday at 7pm after that until other notice. I will get you more info over the weekend but please, please, please help me get the word out. It will be live and we will have guests and we will be able to take calls and blogs while on line.

That's plenty for today. I love you all.
