I am super excited to announce that I am down to using ONE crutch! I am able to go up and down the stairs much easier, walk faster, and put weight on my left leg. Let me tell you, being able to get up and down the stairs has been life changing! My outings the last 5 weeks have been limited (except for appointments) because it was so difficult to deal with the stairs. I feel like I have so much more freedom now! I even went to the grocery store with my mom on Saturday. I rode in the little mobility cart and I was FLYING.  At PT on Thursday, I was able to bend my leg to 75% without pain, and 80% with a little pulling. I completed 10 minutes on the exercise bike, 10 minutes on the treadmill (my brace slid down and started cutting into my ankle), and leg lifts with 2lbs weights on my ankles. I am always a little apprehensive when trying new exercises, much to the chagrin of my physical therapist. My most used phrase is, "Just give me a second, I need to think about this." One of ...

My Dad's Side of the Family Story

-
 My dad's grandmother and her sister lived during the Mexican Revolution. (1910) Their father owned a larger ranch. During the war the Revolutionary Men would steal women and take them as wives, and help them with things while they were fighting. They would also steal whatever they need from the people. The girls father built secret rooms in the basement to hide his daughters in so they would not be taken. The Revolutionary Men would at times stay for weeks. Because of this the girls would have to stay underground in total silence, and the ranch hands would sneak food to them. My dad's dad's mother was the only daughter of her parents because her twin brother died at birth. Her parents died when she was very young. All the land and animals they left her was stolen by her relatives, and then they sent her off to live with her Godparents. She never got anything back, even when she was an adult. Emilio Brachetti is my fathers 3rd great grandfather. He came to Mexico from Italy...

Teacher Venting: Difficult Parent/Guardian

The schools year is quickly approaching (although, not fast enough for me). It has been a challenging two years of teaching, going to school, experiencing a faith transition, and living through a global pandemic.  I've had a terrible experience this year with a guardian who hates me. She belittles me every chance she gets. She uses me as a scapegoat to blame for every issue her students has in school. She is condescending and patronizing. I always leave conversations with her feeling anxious and overwhelmed with emotion. The last two weeks have been especially bad, because her student has been getting into trouble. I have been feeling helpless and emotionally exhausted. I always feel attacked when I talk to her, and it's ridiculous.  I brought this lady up in therapy on Tuesday, and I've decided to write what I want to tell her. Here we go: I really care about your student. We had built a great relationship between September and November, before schools shut down again. I h...
