My Weekly Challenge

Forgive me for skipping past the few weeks, but it's not to say that I haven't kept my word. I've had periods of exhaustion to the point of not being able to get out of bed and a lot of visitors from out of town flew in so I spent the majority of my time hanging out with my besties. I've put myself out and there and actually take the time to get to know new people I'm meeting for the first time. Normally, I'm pretty to myself and quiet, but I've noticed a shift in that even when surrounded by mostly strangers. You just have to learn to try new things and get out of your comfort zone. I am waiting on authorization to see a rheumatologist, podiatrist, and physical therapist. Hopefully they all get approved soon. In the meantime, I signed up with a personal trainer to get things going again so this is new. I'm also learning about new techniques for cake and cupcake decorations and can't wait to show you all what I've been working with. There are several other projects in tow as well. Here's to praying it all comes together. I took the dog out for a walk last night and decided to try jogging again. My knees were surprisingly strong enough to withstand it for a few seconds before starting to buckle. It'll get there though and I am extremely thrilled about this new revelation of progress considering I just started regaining my mobility 5 months. Starting to be able to jump for joy too, just not with the knees bent in a 90 degree angle quite yet...just a straight up and down. Utah in May will be my first big road trip and long hours of driving since our last trip to Arizona. This will be interesting!
