SO COOL!

Hey guys!

So i FINALLY got to see the pictures from my surgery (I am impatient so this has been a painstaking wait for me). They are probably the coolest things that I have ever seen and some of the most mind boggling. It was weird for me to see them because even though I was awake for surgery I wasn't totally aware of everything they were doing. I realized just how crazy intense the surgery was and how much they actually had to handle my ankle in order to fix it. Now I know why my scars are so impressive... they did some pretty serious work in there! It was especially weird for me to see one of the pictures. I won't post it because it is pretty gory and intense, but it showed my ankle wide open and with the big hole in it. I had NO idea that the hole was that big.. it totally makes sense now why it hurt so much. It is hard for me to wrap my mind around it! I just keep starring at it!

I also got to see the rest of the pictures that Dede Hatch has taken and it is really cool to see the progression from surgery to the studio that I have faced. For me it is hard to see changes because I experience them on a daily basis and they all kind of blend together. But when you look at the pictures that are taken months apart,  it is clear the progress I have made. It is reassuring to see these. I have had some great days, and I have had some bad days. Seeing these pictures makes me realize that even though I had setbacks and bad days where I just wanted it to all be over, I have overcome something that I didn't think I could.. and I think that is pretty awesome.


Mentor meeting with Mrs. Augustine tomorrow.. I can't wait!
