Yeah I need to talk to my home nurses about assigning me someone for PT. I was hoping I would be further along by now and they said if I need one to just ask and they will set me up. I actually play guitar, piano, and I sing, so I've been doing a bit of that. My voice is still fine, just of course pronunciation is a little off. But I was pleasantly surprised I was still so capable. I actually felt more comfortable singing than speaking, it seems to sound a little more fluent.

I've also actually played baseball my entire life. I had every intention of trying out for the college team when I went in the fall, but since I'm deferring my acceptance to the Spring, I will have to put that on hold. When I am well enough, I will get into a good exercise routine, slowly but surely. I know to pace myself. I have been complimented on my arm my whole life, luckily I'm right handed so my throwing will be fine. It will just be a matter of retraining my left arm for hitting. But I work very hard and I can overcome anything, so I have no worries. I think it's amazing just how similar our situations seem to be!

When my surgery was first explained to me in detail, they said they were considering using a flap from my thigh, but I guess they opted to just suture it up and let it heal on it's own.
