Added to my resume yesterday

disability, Uncategorized 1 Minute

On the heels of my recently found balance, I was feeling fairly confident, so yesterday morning, I thought I’d try something out while my husband was in the shower. So I bravely, if nervously, went to the little hallway that connects the living room to the main bathroom and parked the wheelchair . Then, using the handrail that hubby put in, I pulled myself up and tried to walk a few steps without my AFO. Guess what?! I actually walked 4 steps forward and 4 steps back to the wheelchair … twice!  Granted, it wasn’t graceful, but I didn’t feel like I was losing my balance, and it wasn’t wobbly.  Then, when my mom came over, I did it again to show her! She was just as happy as I was. I haven’t told or shown the hubby yet, but I am excited to do so after he reads this post.

You are tied for second to hear the news. There will be video posted tomorrow, hopefully.

I’m so happy, I could jump for joy, but there’s no way I’m risking injury before hubby sees this!!

  6. Way to go! And ~ way to know when to stop. I can’t count the number of recoveries I’ve sent backward trying to go too fast. Enjoy these small victories ~ and rest afterward…
