Saturday update

So its now Saturday and I have been home five days. I am starting to finally adjust and slowly be able to talk on the phone for longer than five minutes. I found out yesterday that I have about another week and a half or so of only being able to sleep for two to three hours at a time. This is sometimes frustrating but I am finding out that is almost perfect because the percocet makes me sweat at night. I think I can now recite almost the whole Michael Vick press conference or give anyone the views of both parties on the new health care reform. I am walking about a quarter mile a day now and very anxious for rehab to turn me loose a little more so that I can stretch it out. Dizziness is subsiding and pain is still in my chest but overall I am feeling so much better than even a few days ago. I talked to a lady today at my IV treatment who had surgery six weeks ago and she was very positive and told me to not get discouraged. It is funny how god puts your heart at a place where people you would normally brush off or not listen to you suddenly hang on their words and appreciate the support. I am going to try and setup or work with an organization for better child and young adult physicals and am currently thinking of ideas and ways to go about it. This experience has taught me so much not only about the heart but about myself and I really want to share that knowledge with everyone. I am figuring I should take it all one week at a time though and concentrate on my rehab and start doing something about it starting in a few weeks. If any of you know organizations that already advocate this it would be a great help if you shared them with me. Mom has been so great through all of this and I think she is happy to help, but if any of you have time to come relieve her or help her out I think she could use the free time. Even though I am the center of her world I sometimes think it can get to be a bit much. Again, I am sure I sound like a broken record, but I am so thankful for all of your support and prayers and look forward to being able to repay you all for your help. I think this whole experience has mad me more self aware and I just want to make an indelible impression (that is for you Cory) on the world so that everybody does not have to experience the nightmare I have had to go through. Well I hope to get to the store soon so that I can visit some co-workers and be proud to walk through the door under my own power. Until tomorrow thank you all and god bless.
