Sunset on the beach…

I started the day with another hyperbaric oxygen chamber session. This time, I managed to sleep a bit to pass the time and to forget I am trapped in a glass case of emotion. I am amazed at how good my bruises look given the abuse these legs received on Tuesday. I’ll squeeze in another session on Monday to continue to maximize results.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing and napping. I managed to make it up and down the stairs twice today. I continue to be amazed by this body and what it can do. I needed to get in some steps today, so we decided to head to Griffith Observatory. Unfortunately everyone in LA had that idea today, so we ended up on the Santa Monica pier.

I love a good sunset, but a sunset on the beach? That’s next level for me. Make fun of me all you want, but there is something beautiful in seeing proof that even the worst day can end on a beautiful note. We made our way over the bridge, and enjoyed an epic sunset. We walked around a bit and headed down to the Third Street Promenade which is a pedestrian area with a lot of shops. I could walk a bit easier there since there were no cars around. We meandered a bit before heading back home.

Another day down, and I continue to be amazed at and thankful for my recovery. Tomorrow there’s a nursing shift change as my brother will be here to take care of me, and my friend heads back home. There’s also a trip to the surgeon’s office for the full surgery recap. I can’t wait!
