Yesterday was an all around great day! In the morning we got to go on our out trip! We were out of traction on the bus ride over to the theater. Then we got back in when we got there. We saw the movie "Beastly". It was pretty good! After the movie we ate at the little cafe there. The food wasn't all that good but I guess it was better than hospital food. Then we went to play in the arcade. We couldn't really play any of the games in traction so they let us free!! It was so much fun!! Us three Halo's went wild! Kimberly and I played on of those dance games. I made it all three rounds and at the end was a bit out of breath and tired. If I had tried to do that two months ago I wouldn't have even made it through the first round without getting to short of breath and having to stop!! It was so cool to see the improvement!! I loved getting to go out, far from the hospital, and just feel kind of normal for a few hours!! As we were leaving the hospital these people stopped us in the lobby. They started talking to me about the interview I did and how well I did. They said I was a great spokesperson and that they would be sure I got a copy of the interview. I'm thinking I will have to lock that away. Then in the afternoon I got a very excited call from Rachel. She was very pleased to inform me that my letter from UMKC arrived!!!!!!! I freaked out! I made her promise not to give in and open it even if I begged. Within a few minutes I was begging. Thankfully, Rachel has more self control that I do!! I am getting the letter delivered by three of my favorite people on Friday!! The anticipation is torture!! I just want to know so bad!! But I know whatever happens will be for the best.
Today was a bit torturous. I was constantly asked about my letter. Nurses came in and asked me, people from PT and RT were asking me, and Dr. Lenke's nurse even called me to ask!!! Definitely not easy to not think about it!! I'm just ready for Friday!! Everyone here keeps saying I got in. I know the envelope is big but I don't want to get my hopes up. Thinking about the letter is distracting me a bit from thinking about my surgery but not as much as I hoped. One month from today I have my second surgery! My first one is 15 days away!! It's coming! I'm thinking next week will be hard and long because it's the week before stuff gets rolling and not much is happening and on top of that most of my friends will be leaving. But the week after that starts off with my central line and then a few days later it's showtime!! I am so ready!!
