Cast off!

No, not stranded on a deserted island...
Abby's cast came off today! Yay! She isn't walking yet though. That will be in a few weeks. She will be starting physical therapy this week. Then she will need to go to physical therapy 2 times per week for the next month or two. For right now, she is still walking with her walker and not putting any weight on her left leg.

Cutting Abby's cast off with the saw:

Her leg out of the cast...yucky looking!

Back from break

Today was the first day back from spring break.  Back to class and back to reality. No more watching trashy tv, playing Sims 2, and taking naps. It's refreshing to get back to my schedule and be at school though.

I think my spring break was a success.

I got my hair cut.

Scrapbooked with Amy.

Visited Alycia and baby Ethan.

Had lunch with Josh.

Had a visit from my father-in-law.

Got a new car.

Did some research for my primate cons. class.

Broke my glasses, but ordered 2 new pairs from Zenni Optical

Some photos of it all:

Josh and his Dad...

Just think in a year and a half, he'll be getting his learner's permit!

Chocolate face

I just used this face mask (bought at Ulta) and OMG, I love it! It smells so good that I was seriously tempted to eat some. It's not a strong chocolate smell, just a light smell and after you wash it off you can still smell a hint of chocolate. Besides the smell, it felt good and left my skin really soft.  A nice little treat for around $2.00.

This week's happiness...

Brought to you by cookies and Hello Kitty tents....

Life has been very stressful for me lately, but rather than focusing on that...here are some photos of things that made me smile over the past week.

My roses that Josh gave me for Valentine's day in full bloom...



Smiley face cookies from Elleson's bakery in Sycamore....



My new favorite argyle sweater purchased off a Target clearance rack...



Ladybug cookie sammich from Schnuck's grocery store which Josh and I shared...



Abby playing in her room in her Hello Kitty tent. It's awesome that she is able to play in there again, despite the cast...



Hee hee, I wish I could play in there too!

Still cancer-free :-)

Today has been quite the day. It started off with saying goodbye to Abby's teacher as she goes on leave to have cancer treatment. She's a wonderful person and we wish her the best.

Then after dropping off Abby and heading to school, I ran out of gas. That's always fun in a rural area. Luckily Josh was able to come and help me. I am so blessed to have a husband who not only fixed my problem in the cold rain, but didn't complain about it and even better...made me laugh! Unfortunately by the time that was all taken care of, I missed class. I really hate missing class.

Then I had my appointment. She didn't feel anything in my neck. Yay! Also, she is no longer worried about my lymph nodes. Yay again! I have become less worried about them myself, but it was good to hear that we are no longer focusing on them in scans. My blood pressure was good and I'd lost a few pounds which was super surprising to me with all the stress I've been feeling. I was able to convince her to put my scan off until August. Since it's a week of going to the hospital everyday, $10,000 worth of tests & shots, and not feeling so hot...I really didn't want to do it during the school year.

After my appointment Josh took me out to lunch for Mexican food which was so nice. :-)
