Things you can do while grounded to the couch...

So.... My doctor has grounded my to the couch for the whole weekend to see if my hematoma (huge blood clot due to surgery) will go away. So far, it is just getting worse.... but I am still grounded to the couch.

 So... I decided to take a picture of a few things that I do while not leaving the couch....

 Will and I have read LOTS of books!!!

 And, here I am in my new top from Kohl's.  I decided that if I have to sit here, then I might as well still get ready for the day and look nice, and then sit all day long.

 Lund and I have played Mancala quite a few times as well.

And....... I had a wonderful surprize visit on Friday. Sister Stephens (the beautiful lady to my right in the picture), is on the Relief Society General Board for the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints. She came to visit me along with the Stake Relief Society President and a wonderful representative from our ward as well. And to cap it all off, Sister Stephens said that I am her hero......ME!! Wahooooo!! I am someone's hero!!!! And she also told Morgan that he is a hero too!!!! SOOOOOO True!!!!! What a fun suprize visit. Loved it!

Here we all are cozy on the couch. Please notice my awesome flower pin! My Visiting Teacher had literally given it to me 10 minutes before they came. She made it for me and I love it! How talented is she?!!

And just so you don't think I am lying, here is Sister Stephens information from the LDS web page...
