Joyful June: Recovery

Well today is a fabulous day. I woke up this morning ready to have my sheets on my bed washed, and I feeling like "prettying" myself up. So I painted my nails. Then I decided to start exercising my leg.

I did that 3 times today and I have to be honest, I feel amazing. Because I accomplished something big tonight. I have been trying to lift my leg up on my own for about a week now and I COULDNT do it. Then yesterday with assistance I was able to do it! Today I kept trying... And the first two times (this morning and this afternoon) I needed assistance then this evening I did it on my own, SEVERAL times! I have to be honest with you and say there was SO MUCH joy happening in that moment. Mom and I started screaming and I was crying happy tears! It felt so good to be able to do that... God is so good and I know that he is blessing my recovery. I look forward to the coming months!

I haven't shared this with many people but I was told yesterday at physical therapy that I was actually not healing well at first...that I was falling behind in therapy. But I'm suddenly catching up and hopefully will continue to!

Okay since I'm so happy I'm repeating myself I'm getting off of here! I think Its time for bed ;)
