It's 6:30am here, and I have been up since five. I so wanted a good nights sleep but only got 4 hours. I guess thats what I get for doing nothing yesterday. That's only part of it though, as my shoulder hurts from hanging over the bed. Of course this is on my affected side.

I have worked my shoulder and arm a bit since arising, but it is still sore. I will have to be very careful today as to how I am holding my arm as I get out and about. I don't want it popping out because I am being careless.

I am getting together with friends today for an extra Thanksgiving get-together. I haven't seen some of these folks in over a month, so we will have lots to catch up on. :chat: These friends have been so instrumental in helping with my recovery, especially during my hospital stay and upon release.

I need to make some pumpkin bread before I go, so I'll be busy later this morning. I like to cook and bake, and now that I had my stroke, it is a bit harder in the kitchen, but I found a few kitchen gadgets that have helped me continue with my psuedo-hobby.

This talk about food is making me hungry. It's time for some breakfast.
