A Respite Day

Hello, hello, hello from your fellow Warrior! I hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday! I don't have much to report but wanted to check in and let you all know I'm thinking of you and continue to be so appreciative of your love and support!

It was a pretty quiet day today. I continue to remain stable and they are leaning towards moving me back to inpatient rehab tomorrow depending on how tonight goes. So, one step closer to the next step - whatever that may be.

I got some great work in with Pysical Therapy, taking a nice long walk with one of my favorite therapists, Sandi. Still trying to work up my tushie muscles so I can go from sit to stand independently. And that's going well!

Occupational Therapy was kind enough to help me shower today! I feel much more human now, what a difference feeling clean can make for your spirit. Whew!

I've also been cleared to wear my own clothes from home! So I'm feeling more and more like myself and it is amazing! This also means I will be able to join everyone in MISSY MONDAY tomorrow with my very own Team Missy gear! Woo-hoo! I've been able to share some of the Team Missy gear with some of the outstanding people that are part of my care team here. I wish I could give something to each and every person that has been part of my journey! I've made some very sweet and likely life long connections with a handful but every single one will always have a special place in my heart and I won't forget them and all they do.

Now that I'm not attached to the drains or IVs I'm able to scoot around my room in a specialized wheelchair, which does wonders for my feeling of independence and confidence. I was able to organize some of my things and spend some time near the window watching the boats on the water.

Today was just a peaceful day and very much needed. Tomorrow it is back to the week day routine, which is more challenging and busy. Plus hopefully I'll have some answers about where we are in the appeal for my MELD score. And I'll get settled into my next digs, fingers crossed I get put into another room with a decent view.
​
Bless you all, have a wonderful evening and I'll update again when I can. More miracles coming our way, I just know it. Keep the faith!
Xoxo
