So my estimated departure date is July 17 . . . hopefully earlier:) I had a great day today, and the pain has been getting less and less. Lacey my beautiful sister-in-law and my friends Natalie, Brittany, and Kevin came to visit. It's always so nice to have visitors. It is something I will do more for sure, visit people in the hospital. I am starting to walk up some stairs, which is scary! I never realized how much strength it took to do little things like that. I am so blessed! I have been trying to do a little more sitting and walking each day because it is so hard to lay in the bed for days on in. ..yuck! I will update more later . ..thanks for reading!
