Exciting news, I think I can sort of almost stand on my left foot toes. Yeah! Right? It's faint, I prop myself up with both tippy toes and hold onto the counter and, here is where it gets exciting, I actually lift up my right foot and I think I can maybe feel a fraction of a second of resitance before I am back flat on my left foot. Progress! I mean it's only been 10 months, you can't expect miracles. I will just continue to hope the neurosurgeon was right when he said he thought the nerve damage would repair.
I still haven't been on my horses. I have to admit, I think I can sit on a horse but any sudden movements, or perish the thought, fall, still scares me. Everything scares me though. I am getting better about picking stuff off the floor though, so that is a little bit of awesome.
I am doing a plane trip next month. I intend to walk through the airport this time! I am still not fast, thankfully planes have quit flying out of Western Nebraska so I am driving to Denver. That means no connecting flights so no need to rush. My last flight, as you may or may not remember involved wheelchairs. That was cool, but has since ceased to be practical.
I am seriously slacking on the physical therapy, I admit. I think I feel better doing less but I feel sort of guilty like I should do more. I am happily staggering about with my new weird soaping hobby...soap, soap for sale or trade! Well you do what you can and don't whine about what you can't. Ok, that's a lie, I whine all the time but so far that has changed nothing.
