"Sense"-ational Sunday...
Yep, I'm back in action. My arm is still quite sore, but I'm managing better than I thought I would be. Every day it gets a little better. Here's what I can do - dress myself, drive & finally type with 2 hands. Here's what I can't do - straighten or bend my left arm, pick anything up with it, touch my face or my head - and I can't pull my hair into a ponytail!!! (that one makes me a little crazy - OK, a LOT crazy).
So here's my "sense"-ational Sunday in the spirit of getting back in the swing of things...
Our senses tell a story. I've committed to recording my 5 senses once a week to explore my sensory world. I challenge you to do the same. If you choose to do so, just blog your 5 senses every Sunday & let me know, I'd love to read them.
I SEE:
That, my friends, is the inside of my elbow. I had to pick up my x-rays today for my follow up appointment this week & was pretty impressed with all my new hardware. The scar is pretty awesome. I still have nasty knots on my left temple & left knee, but they'll go down sooner or later.
I HEAR: The food network. I've been too sore to clean or craft & too pain-pilled up to be motivated to read, so I've been vegging on the couch in front of the TV this weekend.
I TASTE: Blackened scallops & shrimp. My good man took me to Rockfish tonight for an Easter date. Also - I've been tasting other people's cooking. My aunt Carol has cooked for us a few times, so has my cousin Meg. Also our neighbors brought us dinner one night - it's been a tremendous help. Cooking one handed is really rough.
I TOUCH: Pillows, blankets, pills & the remote control. Boring, but true.
I SMELL: It's a tie - clean laundry (my aunt stayed over one evening until 2 am doing all the laundry in the house) and chocolate chip waffles - which Meg made from scratch for me Saturday morning. And yes, I'm feeling a little spoiled, but I really appreciate everything!!!
Thank you all for all of your well-wishes! I loved seeing your comments, they meant a lot to me!

Glad to see you back on the keyboard! Hope your recovery continues at a speedy clip.
Happy Easter!
that hardware looks pretty familiar - in fact, i think i have one exactly like that (a sample, of course) on my kitchen counter! it's what the hubby sells, after all.
glad you're feeling better & back to blogging!
I'm glad to see you bloggin by your self again. I felt terrible when I read the blog about your accident... It must be still hard for you to type and do any kind of work with your arm, but I am glad that you are back to bloggin.
I am making a goddie box for you right now! I hope I can send out within next month!
Good to hear you're better...little by little! Can't wait to see you soon!
Emily!! Good to see you post! Continued good thoughts & prayers for a very SPEEDY recovery :0) xoxoxo
Welcome back Emily! I am glad to see that you are well enough to let us know that you are OK! Sending many good thoughts and prayers your way! :)
Way to go Emily.....glad that you are feeling better. I'm sure you will be back crafting soon. Relax and rest and keep getting better!
I, for one, am quite pleased with your recovery. That xray is pretty massive! You look like Terminator!
Wow, what an X-ray. Well, I have always said "I you are going to do something, do it up right." Looks like you really did a bang up job on your elbow.
I have no doubt that you will end up with full range of motion. You are a very determined person. I will pray for your total recovery.
