SURGERY!!!

Well Just as the title says I have to have Arthoscopic Knee surgery on Monday morning at 9:30 am. I have a Torn PCL, Torn Medial Meniscus, and Torn Lateral Meniscus!!!

Great things goin on!!

Well ok Sunday November 2nd I got ordained an Elder by my Granddad. But before that at Stake Conference I sat Next to Brother Marshall our new assisstant stake music director. He invited me to sing in "The Messiah" (this was very odd to me because i have never sung with a choir or even learned how to read notes ut he told me I had a fine voice) so I said I would be there. And yesterday was our first practice and I was kinda scared going into it because i didn't know if i could learn the stuff that fast.. well i caught on really really fast and am learning how to use my voice. I didn't know what musical part I was so He took me to the piano and found out I am a Tenor and he said " you know in the movies the Tenor always gets the girls" hahahahaha but anyways I love singing!!!

Lizard Man

Well great news!!! I went to see Doctor Rhorer today and he said that my leg is perfectly healed now and he watched me walk and was so impressed. He then likened me to a lizard, you know when a lizard loses its tail it grows back. So I told my PT's and they Christened me Lizard Man hahha but I don't have to see the doc till April 1st. I'm really working hard so I can go on my mission in May or June. :)

Progress not Regress

Well it has been a long time since I have posted anything new but I have decided I will start posting again. Well since the last time I post I have started driving again, It was pretty scary the first time but now it seems just natural again! I do have my dog back living with me, she can be a pain sometimes (especially when it comes to her chewing on things) I have talked with my bishop and he feels I am ready to be ordained an Elder and I do have an interview with my stake president tomorrow at 9:15pm haha. Another new update is on Friday this past week was one of my most favorite PT's of all time, Russ' last day so I pushed myself a little more and I sprinted for the first time since the accident. Then I was asked to speak at a Priest Laurel retreat so I met up with Jake Nelson and Bro Alvey and we drove up to Pine on Friday night had a fun speed dating activity and then basically just met a lot of new people afterwards. Then I went to bed and it was me and Jake in one bunk and the bunk higher than ours had four guys on it and we thought it was going to collapse! haha it was awesome, then the next day I woke up at 5 and went into the woods and read my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon and was able to bring the spirit Then we had these very wonderful breakfast burritos... then we had our first 2 classes which were College prep and Mission Prep and then we had a short break then It was time for our lesson which was the spiritual class. I wrote a talk especially for it and I made a parable using gardening and then I told the story of my accident and how I know I would be here if I hadn't been living worthily to have the Holy Ghost with me. It was an incredible class both times we taught it and there was such a strong spirit there. then we had lunch and then hiked up the hill and had a devotional. It was awesome and I bore my testimony. This trip was amazing as my last priest activity I got to know Jake better and found out we have so much in common. I just checked Laura's blog and she took pictures from her cruise and there was one picture that stood out to me.. It was the birds of paradise (flowers), it stuck out to me because she knows they are some of my most favorite flowers and she took the time to take a pretty picture of them :)

Wow

Well It has been a long time since I have written on here. Since that time I have started going to institute... I Love it. I have also started walking... its is a little more and more each day. Yesterday Laura came and got Calli from my dads house and I was here I got to talk to her a little bit and she gave me a little hug it was a great day.

Sore!!

Well I had PT two days in a row Tuesday and Wednesday, I am feeling the effects of it now! It is so awesome though, I love walking and getting stronger! I love walking on the treadmill. It is so amazing at how fast I am healing, I love it! So yeah my Dog Calli dug underneath my moms fence and so I had my dad come pick her up and take her to his house and she got out again today!! It is ridiculous I feel so bad for her because she has not been played with for 3 months because of my accident. I feel so bad and I do NOT want to get rid of her she is my little buddy! I just need to get back to walking so I can take her on walks and get her energy out because she is just really bored. I love her too much to get rid of her.

SOOO

I love my ward!! Everyone is soo awesome and there is this guy, his name is branden and has downs syndrome and he just wanted to push me in my wheel chair everywhere I needed to go yesterday!! He is so awesome he calls me his Homie haha. But yesterday I walked with my walker a lot and also took a few steps without the walker... But I am doing so great!! So I figured that like 3 people read my blog I thank everyone for reading my nonsense stuff that I write sometimes but I love all of you!!
