First to report from my doctor's appointment, he said things are healing perfectly... keep things going the way they are.... still no lifting, or bending - just take things slow and gather my strength. Then we go back to him in one month for a final visit before we then visit the people that make the artificial eye - a month... sounds like a long time especially when I am not allowed to do anything... but in reality - this coming wednesday will be a month since the accident! Wow... really doesn't seem like it at all... time flies when you are on really good pain killers! LOL ( actually haven't needed them in a while ) But I am getting much stronger and feeling better each day - I think I may even pull out my Copics this week and give some coloring a try :0)
We also went and found me a pair of glasses this week... ordered them anyway, will get them in a week or so - and then I actually went to the grocery store!!! See a little bit of normal :0) Ok... so it totally wore me out and we only were picking up a few items, but it did feel good to push the cart and walk up and down a few of the isles... normal.....
Then this morning Autie and Libbie had a little bit of normal in their lives. They got a bath!!! They have been very spoiled this past month, in fact they have put on a few too many pounds with Daddy and Grandma both feeding them... and all the treats everyone has been sharing with them. So they are now on a watched diet... and back to a schedule, which one was a much needed bath!
Autie was up first.. he was an angel...
Gato really watched close... I could tell exactly what she was thinking... "What a disgrace! I would never allow that done to me!"
I want to again say thank you for all of the wonderful cards!! It has become our favorite time of the day.. Hubby goes to the mail box each afternoon and we sit in bed and go through the beautiful cards... we talk about where each comes from and how different and fabulous each are. They have really lifted our spirits and brought hours of smiles to us. I will try and take some photos of the piles of envelopes to show you this week! They have been an unbelievable joy to this whole experience.
So things are going well... and I am feeling better... my main goal this week is to get my new glasses so I can spend hopefully a little time on the computer, just a few minutes now and I really can feel it in my good eye and my head.. ouch!
So from me to each of you.. HUGE THANK YOUS and HUGE HUGS!!!

Oh Michelle you sound so positive which is fabulous and it is so good to see pics of daddy and the animals!!
Honey will be having her bath tomorrow!!!
And what is this about food shopping coming girl you need to do some proper shopping!!!
Great big hugs and kisses. Sue :o)
That's wonderful news!! I am sure walking around is good for you! My neighbor just had a double mastecomy this week and the doctor said she needs to walk 5 mins a few times a day to keep the blood flowing. We actually went for a long walk last night together which was good for both of us!! Keep it up and you will be back to "normal" in no time at all! Big hugs!

Dear Michelle, I am so glad to hear that you are on the mend. I undestand completely...taking things slowly. Injuries and illnesses really do teach us patience. And, that is a good thing I think. Keep taking care of yourself.
How wonderful to know that you feel better and better everyday. Glad to know your world is being as coloring as your projects :o)
Take good care of yourself!
Hugs,
Cabio

So glad things are going well. A little bit of normal is a good thing. With your positive attitude you will be back to "normal" in no time. Anybody else would be sitting around doing the "poor me" thing. Don't know you but somehow I don't think that's you.
Hey hun,
I'm glad you are feeling better from day to day. I'm so proud of you that you are so strong! Thanks for the cute pics.
Miss and love you
Jay Jay

Hi Michelle... it's so nice to hear that you getting some normal in your life once again. Stay strong and get better. We are with you girl.
I'm so glad to hear that you are doing better!! It's nice to have some normal days! Well, as close to normal as possible, as normal seems to change a lot depending on the day! :) Thanks for the pictures. I love the picture of Goto watching the baths!! :) My dog hates baths... He likes to try and jump out of the tub like Libbie did!! :)
Michelle, I did not know until today what you had been through and I want to tell you 1) that you will be in my prayers for a rapid recovery and 2) I admire your positive attitude. Being that way, you will be crafting soon! Loved to see the photos of bath time and the new baby. You are amazing! God bless.
Great to hear some normality is back with you - bet it wont be as long as it may seem and you'll be back to your hectic lifestyle again!
So pleased to hear you are doing well.
Love the pictures, especially the one of Gato - she sure looks like she's thinking that too :)

Michelle, your upbeat letter has just made my day! I am so happy to hear you are improving and you have a nice healthy attitude.
It's very true that you are the one that will know it's an artificial eye-not others. Isn't that amazing(0:
We have just returned from vacation and making you a card is at the very top of my to do list. I sure am glad they aren't all graded though lol. Mine would be a low grade but the wishes for you, your health, your hubby and your babies would all be AAA+++
Take care and take it easy.
Hugz,
Cheribella
Hi Michelle, good to read this blogpost from you! How wonderful to know that you feel better everyday. Thanks for the bath time pics, love the one of Gato .... haha! Big hug for both of you! Yvonne
Hi Michelle, so good to hear your news and I detect a little of the old sparkle back in your "voice"!!! Fab photos and such a brave Gato, my cats hate the bathroom!!! Do take care and I hope each day is better than the previous. Hugs Jo x
It's great that some of the "normal" is returning to your life! Hard to believe how much you miss just the very simplest things. Loved the bath pictures. Bet there are all sorts of things that hubby is learning! Your attitude is amazing and soooo right on. Glad to hear that your mailbox is full and that you are enjoying all the cards and wishes. Hope that mine have safely made their way to you.
Hugs and wishes for even more "normal" in the near future!

Delighted to read these positive updates, Michelle. Well done you on your super healing powers! What a great idea to have "card-opening time" every afternoon - I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Love the bath-time pictures - did Libby get cleaned in the end?
Best wishes for the coming week - hope you get to do some colouring.
Julie :o)
I'm glad to hear that things are continuing to move forward well for you, Michelle. It's great that you got out a bit even to the grocery store. Being able to to feel normal is important when you're going through a long term medical problem. I'll be praying for you each day as you continue on your way to a full recovery.
I loved the pet pictures and stories. Our dogs hide when the other one is getting a bath. lol
So good to hear of your progress Michelle!
Hang in there, Michelle! I hope your glasses come soon! I had to laugh at your bath photos! We gave Riley a bath last night and she was pretty good...she usually is. But it still is good to have a helper with me!
Take care! Hugs.
Take good care of yourself Michelle.. You are in my thoughts and prayers.. I hope that the healing continues...
Michelle,
Glad you're up and about! Fun to see the bath pics. My cat, Toby, was my bathroom kitty. He always had to check out the running water, try to drink it, play with the bubbles in the bath, etc. He fell in more than once!
Thanks for keeping all of us updated on what's going on. It's great to hear that you are making such good progress.
Continuing to pray for you and your caring hubby,
Niki
So glad to hear you are feeling better. We have 2 dogs a Pomeranian and a Brittany Springer cross. Our Pom was shown in his younger days before we adopted him so he is a perfect gentleman in the tub but bathing our big guy is a rodeo ( he loves water just not a bath). I have missed the pictures of your critters and the charming narratives. Wishing you a speedy recover!!!
Oh sweet Michelle, you bring tears to my eyes. I have been and continue to pray for you, a quick healing and adjustment to all this. You sound so upbeat, and I know it's from the Lord Himself. You truly are an inspiration to all who read about what has happened to you and how you are dealing with it. I feel you are a friend whom I have yet to meet. Blessings on you.
Hugs, Linda
Hi Michelle:
Take Good Care of yourself.. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
