Missing Dad and comparing today to last week...
well, the visit with my dad, although the poor man was stuck cleaning like crazy and was acting as my glorified butler, was sooooooo great! it was wonderful to have him, and i would be lying if i said the little girl inside (and even the not so little!) wasn't a bit weepy and crying, "i miss my daddy!" But, all good things must come to an end, and at least the last night he wasn't stuck doing too many chores so we were able to enjoy some fine Chipolte (again, yes, when i find something i like i have it again, and again, and again, etc.) and watched the movie 'Yes Man.' i am so grateful that he was able to steal away from the dreaded post office for a few days and that he came all the way out here means so much.

i feel renewed, hopeful, and with a fresh positive outlook. we had some good talks and i'm so touched he came up. and not only because my apartment had the equivalent of a face lift, butt lift, lipo, lip injections, a la Heidi Montague...hehe. just kidding, but it looks amazing. i did a little filming today to save my fingers the job of writing, and i also found a few more videos i shot in the hospital. they were actually filmed exactly a week ago, and it was weird for me to watch them and then see where i am now. even though it was only a week ago it feels like so long ago; it is very odd to remember that then i was getting prepared to undergo another surgery and still sporting that hot hospital gown! anyways, i put two from last sunday up compared to the one i have from today and it was inspiring for me at least in that i've come quite a bit since then. my leg is much less swollen and i have much more movement; so it helps me to see that there is progress, even if it is not going as fast as i would of course like. just like a training log, when you are able to look at where you were and see where you are now, it helps to motivate you to take on the goals set for the future.
