Happy 4th of July weekend! We are starting the weekend off by attending Stacey and DJ's wedding tomorrow. So happy for them! Stacey has been one of my girls since we moved here 21 years ago. I'm so glad go see her find such a good man.
So far, we don't have any plans for Saturday. I do have a watermelon chilling in my fridge, so there's that! Our local fireworks display is planned for Sunday night. I am wanting to watch that. I'm really hoping they have something special planned. I LOVE fireworks!
I am now down to having therapy every other week. It sure is nice not having to drive over there so often. I'm continuing to make slow but steady progress. I saw my doctor yesterday, and he said there is nothing more he can do. He fully expects my hypersensitivity to resolve as the nerves continue to heal. That's good news! He couldn't be as reassuring as far as me getting all of the feeling and function back though. He said we'll just have to wait and see. I still have several more months of healing to do. Nerves take a LONG time to heal!
I am still regaining function. I crocheted a hot pad, sewed a curtain, and knitted a dishrag last month. I have to really pace myself, so as not to over-stimulate the nerves. But it is getting less clumsy to do hand work. I am so very thankful to return to doing the things that I enjoy. Even if I don't get full feeling and function back, I have enough to have a fairly normal life. I'm just a little slower and clumsier than I used to be.
As most of you have heard, we have a new granddaughter, Shelbi. She is perfect! I try to make it over to snuggle with her at least once a week. She and Amber are both doing great! I have started cutting out squares and strips to make Shelbi a rag quilt. I'm hoping to start sewing a little this afternoon. I'm doing a very different style this time. alternating blocks and strips. Hope it goes well! I am a bit rusty.
Next week, we have a quick trip planned to Amarillo for Arian's wedding. This seems to be the summer for getting married! The following week, we plan a trip to Lake Catherine in Hot Springs. We want to visit with our family in Benton while there. It has been a while since we last had a good visit with Warren and Linda. We are really looking forward to the trip!
I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday weekend. Stay cool!
