The Date!

[BAChristian]

Hey... you still wearing the sling?

Yes and no. About 50% of the time. Doc wanted me to do pendulum exercises three times a day, 5 minutes each time to get it loosened up. I start rehab tomorrow...

I'm back at work right now...I can type pretty good, but moving a mouse is hard, so I've been working half days this week.

Doc said, don't move past 0 degrees (which I can't even get there anyway), and no heavy lifting. If you lift anything heavy, you risk tearing the souchers (sp) right off the anchors. (They drilled anchors into my bone, then souchered the ligaments to them or something like that...)

So.. no high-fiving with that hand for a while?

I had a torn rotator cuff, and getting that range of motion back was a REAL pain.

No physical challenges for you Sunday!

correct spelling is sutures

Mmm... bones... drills... aaah...

I LOVED orthopaedics...

I need to get a bone saw in my hands again... maybe get in on some Commando ops and fib. reconstructions.

 

[DJ B.K.]

I'll be praying for you at that time for sure BA!

 

[Filia Mariae]

I will be praying for you!


Congratulations and welcome home!

 

[BAChristian]

Just got done with my final discernment...

Three days to go.

 

[Loki]

Good luck (or whatever is appropriate to wish someone in your situation); I'm glad it's not me; I'd be so nervous....

 

[Citizen1]

At about noon CST, this Sunday, I will be praying for you! This is WAY more exciting than the SuperBowl!

God bless you.

Your Catholic Sister in Christ,
Lori

 

[marciadietrich]

congrats!

I got the triple treatment, baptism, confirmation and first communion at the Easter Vigil last year. I was the only person being baptized so a big night for me. I was a bit nervous about the public display, but was great.

Sure you'll be grinning ear to ear for the next week.

Marcia

[Acceptance]

WHOO RA!
Awesome...are you getting excited, nervous, all of the above? I'll say a prayer for you

I'm glad you're starting to move the arm again -- I was just thinking about your arm...pretty ironic that I came across the thread where you answered the q. before I asked it.

 

[DJ B.K.]

You have t be getting nervous man. It just keeps getting closer and closer!

 

[Michelina]

We'll all be thinking of you, BA.

 

[Matrona]

I will be confirmed into the Church on February 1st...

Praise God!

God bless you!

Hey, how's this for coincidence--I was made a catechumen last year on Super Bowl Sunday. And baptized last Pascha... which is when you originally wanted to be confirmed...

 

[BAChristian]

God bless you!

There are no coincedences...we are bound as a body of believers...

Two days to go...I'm off to adoration and benediction.

 

[Matrona]

There are no coincedences...we are bound as a body of believers...

Indeed.

It's such a relief once you've gone through this, trust me. Not only are you bound to the Body of Christ in a very visible way, it gives you a new identity as a Christian. And the nagging uncertainty that led you to seek out your new faith in the first place is gone... gone forever.

 

[BAChristian]

I hear ya Matrona...

18½ hours to go!

I'm off to partake in the Sacrament of Penance here at 4:30, then we have our Bishop who will be presiding over our Mass at 5:00 and dedicating our new education center...

Then home to metally get ready some more, then off to bed...

Then I'll be up at 8...and Church by 9...

Ahhhh...can't wait... I am SO excited!!

 

[Filia Mariae]

BA,

You continue to be in my prayers. I am so excited for you!

 

[faerieevaH]

Here in Belgium, it's the first of february already... ((by 8 minutes)) I'll be eagerly waiting to hear of you. And send up prayers in mass for you tomorow, as well as burn a candle to Our Lady of Antwerp.
