2-16-10 Tuesday

Greetings from Park Rapids! I hope this is finding each one of you doing well, and starting a good week! I am now 10 weeks out of surgery, and I am feeling SOOOO good! I find it quite amazing, that through this all, I can now be feeling so fabulous! It feels SO good to feel healthy again! Each day I am stronger, healthier, and even happier! I am exercising more... walking at the school as I can, walking on my treadmill, riding my stationary bike, and using the cardio glide. I have also started doing some strength training, and some basic leg lifts, and arm stretches. I want my body to get stronger, and to also keep the muscles that I do have strong.

I had a fun experience on Saturday. Benjamin had a big Basketball tournament here in Park Rapids. Neal was scheduled to work in the consession stand at 1:00 pm. But since Neal had worked the night before, and had to work again that night, he was home sleeping. So, I said I would work it, but I really was worried, as I have had trouble with standing and walking for any length of time. But, I did fine, and had alot of fun!!! I was in charge of the "Tacos in a bag". It turned out to be quite a process, but I did fine. I started at my left, cut open the side of a snack size bag of Doritos, then I put in a scoop of hamburger taco meat, then some shredded cheese, then some shredded lettuce, then a plastic fork! These sure were a hot item, so I kept very busy. I was very pleased though.... I was able to do it!!! Yes, I was very tired but it felt great! I had so much fun. The day was great, Benjamin's team placed 5th all around.

I want to say yet again how much I appreciate your support. It is wonderful even here in town, how many people who have seen our article from the newspaper, and have wished me the best. That is part of a small town too! The kids have loved that too... they say we are celebrities! =)

Well, off to bed for now, love ya all... Eydie
