milestones, man! it was actually an in-person conversation in my dark living room. milestone #2 today, had lunch at a restaurant for the first time since my accident. it was on the porch, looking out at a park/water, noise behind me. but i did it, no earplugs, talked the whole time (w/ just one friend)

gonna order some of those earplugs b/c the biga** neon ones i wear around town are kinda embarassing.

now i really should rest or i'll be in trouble

good on y'all for pushing yourselves just a tad, then rest.

We WILL go to move tomorrow. She will have to go to philharmonic alone but she doesn't mind. I just don't have the strength.

Ok so, without looking back at the posts lol, music in me you have non specific plans with family, hope you have fun

hockey is going to her kid's parade of some sort lol. couldn't remember. Sports club..be careful with all that noise!!

kevboy.. I know you have a 5 month old baby that will keep you busy this weekend...keep us in touch on how you are doing..we are all concerned.
