:big_grin:

I DID SOMETHING MAJOR YESTERDAY..... ANOTHER HURDLE THAT I'VE JUMPED. KEEP ON BELIEVING IN MIRACLES.

IT SEEMS LIKE A SMALL THING, BUT ITS HUGE TO ME.

I USUALLY HAVE HUBBY HELP WITH DRESSING ME. BUT THE OTHER DAY HE SLEPT IN, AND I GOT TIRED OF WAITING AND PUT MY JEANS ON MYSELF. I WAS AMAZED.... IT TOOK ME LONGER, BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT. WHEN HE WOKE UP HE WAS AMAZED THAT I WAS DRESSED. I HAVE ALOT OF DETERMINATION....

ITS AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH ONE HAND.....

EACH DAY IS A NEW BEGINNING FOR ME. IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE MY SURGERY. I FEEL STRONGER EACH DAY.

I AM ALSO WALKING WITH JUST MY SHOES ON. HOPEFULLY I WON'T HAVE TO WEAR THE LEG BRACE ALL THE TIME. IT KEEPS MY FOOT FROM TURNING TO THE SIDE, BUT IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE. I WILL KEEP PRACTICING WITHOUT THE BRACE. I JUST NEED TO TAKE MY TIME WALKING.

I remember the first time I was able to put my regular jeans on it does make you feel great( like you are regaining some independance!), keep up the good work it will get easier with practice!

God Bless,

hey:

 

That's awesome. we have kept small stool in our bathroom on which I sit & wear my clothes. In the begin I used to wait to get help for wearing my bra, but eventually figured it out, I think more you do for yourself and don't take help, it feels great, rebuilds ur self esteem. for a year we had help at home who will cook,clean&do laundry, finally I convinced hubby that I can do all that and v can save money on that, and I have been doing cooking, laundry all by myself, though hubby has to do heavy duty stuff like vaccuming, and I m not doing that cause I don't want to :big_grin:

 

but horray for u, keep on doing more for u, more u will do, its great cycle better u will feel

 

bye
