Just a thought or two..

Too often we are scared.
Scared of what we might not be able to do.
Scared of what people might think if we tried.
We let our fears stand in the way of our hopes.
We say no when we want to say yes.
We sit quietly when we want to scream.
And we shout with the others,
when we should keep our mouths shut.
Why?
After all,
we do only go around once.
There's really no time to be afraid.
So stop.
Try something you've never tried.
Risk it.
Enter a triathlon.
Write a letter to the editor.
Demand a raise.
Call winners at the toughest court.
Throw away your television.
Bicycle across the United States.
Try bobsledding.
Try anything.
Speak out against the designated hitter.
Travel to a country where you don't speak the language.
Patent something.
Call her.
You have nothing to lose
and everything
everything
everything to gain.
JUST DO IT.

3 months!!!

Hello everyone!!

I cannot believe it has been 3 months today since my liver transplant. Time really has flown...

So far, I have been doing excellent and feeling better and stronger everyday.
I started physical therapy/chiropractor to help with my b ack pain and so far I have been doing it for about 3 weeks. It is definitely helping me, just wish I would have started it sooner!
I also am back to work! YAY! I am only working 30 hours a week to start out slow but it feels so good to be back in the working world again and back to a routine.
So many people still cannot believe how well I have been doing and that I recently had major surgery. My doctors even spaced my visits from every other week to once a month!! And as crazy as it sounds, I miss seeing them so often. They are like my new family. I feel safe knowing they are looking after me. I couldn't ask for a better team.

Thanks again to all of my family and friends...I wouldn't be where I am right now without all of your love and support.

Keep smiling...

<3, Rachael
