Hey Everyone,

I had a so so day at rehab.I am really hurting. Tomarrow I have to do an

Exercise Stress Test (required by the Program) and the PT's are going to look at

my feet and me during floor exercises. Because of the damage to my hips, I am

extremely Duck toeed (my toes point outward especially my right leg). After

paying attention to how hard simple exercises were they realized something is

very wrong. I should have been fitted with a brace years ago but unfortunately,

there is little we can do. We'll see though tomarrow.

We also got like 6 or 7 new people today in rehab...they had a bunch of

people move to the area this week. ALl unbder the age of 35.Plus several came

out

of the hospital for the first time Post-Tx.

Anyways, if anyone knows anyone who may be able to help fundraising with the

Transplant let me know. I have a letter about myself that I did and a Tribute

Page that the NTAF has done up to make writing a check or using a credit card

easy.

Just let me know if you are intersested. If you can't don't worry about

it...=)

Last thing, someone broke into my house yesterday. I slept through the whole

thing. My dog went nuts about 1am and I couldn't figure out what was her deal.

She is pretty stupid so I thought maybe she heard the wind blow or something,

which on my part was stupid. She normally NEVER barks and NEVER growls.

When brad came home last night at 2am, the front door was WIDE open. Hollly

wouldn't leave my side and growled and growled. Something told me in the back

of my mind, do not go downstairs.

My husbands family uses every chance they can to tell us to get rid of our

baby, our 90 lbs Rottweiller. She is the sweetest thing in the world. The

neighborhood kids come knocking on our door to see if she can come out and play.

I

kid you not. So we wondered if she would protect us if smething happpened our

love the intruder to death. Its scary though, if I didn't have her what would

have happened?

SO Brad used this as a way to tell his mom a plus to having her. Then again

his family wants us to sell our car and our possestions to move into a one

bedroom apt that costs more that what we pay for our house so we'd be in a upper

class neighborhood. Stupidity....they mean well though.
