What was my big accomplishment?? Taking a shower and not falling on my bum!! LOL!! It took me forever to get everything gathered up that I needed, then I gave Shelby a bath first in the kitchen sink. Shelby's my little 11 lb shih tzu doggie for the newbies who didn't know that. Then it was finally my turn at around 8pm tonight!! Not a problem at all and now I have my confidence built up and it will no longer be a problem.

If anyone is reading this and wondering what the heck I'm talking about...I recently had reconstruction foot surgery on my left foot, which is now in a cast, and insurance won't let my bath aid come anymore as of last Saturday, so I'm on my own now taking a shower.

Three weeks from today (Tuesday) and I get this cast off and my walking cast on. I am sooo looking forward to that so I can get out and about by myself and drive my car again..and IRON!!! I love being home, but I'm an independant kind of gal and don't like being dependant on others to help me.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know (most of you are already asleep) that I did it and nothing bad happened. Whew!!

It's past my bedtime now, so I'd better head that way. See you in the morning, sweet dreams dear special friends.

~~~Big Hugs, Sparkling Clean Susie and Her Clean Smelling Shelby

PS...Shelby and I get to sleep on clean sheets tonight too. Woo Hoo!! LOL!!

Hugs,

Congratulations Susie on your latest accomplishment. You seem to be moving right along and making great progress.

Nothing like a nice shower and then getting into a bed with clean sheets.

One small step for dog, one big step for woman. I can't call you "Wheelie" anymore; how about "Mrs. Clean"? Good morning. Kathey
