impossible.
i've felt pretty lousy today so this is all i could muster.
we made our cards on my bed and these lousy pictures are taken with the ipod.
my surgery was on tuesday and on thursday morning it was my first time to get out of bed and walk with the crutches with the physical therapist. honestly, it was the first time in my life that something felt 100% impossible. i was exhausted, weak, dizzy and felt so panicky. the physical therapist was insistant that i could (and had to) do it and thankfully she was good at what she does. after a fairly major panic attack and a quick sit down to do some deep breathing and put some lavender oil on my wrists i was able to do it. it was the hardest thing i've ever done in my life. (and i've had several knee surgeries and two c-sections) i had to do it a couple more times that day too. it was hard. but i did it. and while i was exhausted and felt sure i'd pass out at any moment, i did it! and that felt amazing.
sage's card.
she always amazes me...she doesn't hesitate for a second when i tell her the prompt!
Too cute! Great job you and sage is a sweety! Thanks for sharing. :)

You are wonderful! Those hard things make us stronger....or so they say! :)The quote I love and hate the most is "I can do hard things".....yeah....I know I CAN....sometimes I just dont wanna!
ANYHOW! I hope you are having good days! Sending happy thoughts your way!
