Teep on teepin' on -

Days til brace off: 9, fingers crossed

The title is what my mom and aunt Cha (mom’s sister) keep saying to me.  I forget the story… something about a minister when they were little that had a lisp and got all fired up in a sermon and said, “Teep on teepin’ on!” over and over again.  

Definitely settling into the apartment and getting things in order.  It feels a lot less hectic, now.  

The Blackhawks lost tonight… pretty bad.  Hopefully game 4 will be better. Rebecca and I got to try out a cool bar by our place called Bar on Buena. They had my favorite bourbon - Angel’s Envy - and a deal on build your own burger.  Pretty sweet.  

My spasms have been pretty annoying, lately.  Two different kinds - either they are extremely stiff and impossible to move or they do the clonus thing and bounce up and down like crazy.  Doing workouts at home help calm them down, I’ve noticed.  I’ll post a video to show you what I mean.  

Today was a good day.  I’m back into work mode, which feels good.  Got a lot done.  I expect something similar tomorrow.  It’s amazing how much being productive does to get you out of a funk.  Just feeling like you’re accomplishing something, if that makes sense.  I worked at home, made my lunch, did some paperwork for personal stuff… felt good.  

Rebecca got home from babysitting and helped me train today.  We got on my KAFOs and walked to the elevator, then off at the 4th floor to walk on the rooftop of Jewel for a while.  It was pretty nice out and breezy… which is perfect for working out (for me, at least).  I stood for a while, as well… maybe 5 or 10 minutes.  

Good day….  Thank you for this good day, Lord.  Thank you for all my friends and family.  I’m lucky to have them in my life.  Thank you for this amazing life I have, Lord.  In Jesus’ name, amen.

G’night,

Chip
