A Milestone

[grnvixen]

Yesterday was a milestone; I went all day without using the cane. That is a first in well over a year. It felt good :). I realized over the weekend that I had kind of been hanging onto it out of habit/security, I have not been using it for support for several weeks, just balance. I also realized that I *needed* to be walking as normally as possibly if I wanted to get the muscles as close to back-to-normal as possible, and using the cane wasn't going to help that. So yesterday, when I got to work, I just left it in the car. Even ran a couple of errands after work. I had a few wobbly moments and last night I could tell there were some muscles that had gotten a little more use than normal but otherwise, one more big step back to normalcy!

Weekend update; gamed with friends way to late saturday night but it was a great time. Survived taking both cats to the vet on saturday, got a bit more sorting/cleaning done and started organizing for eBay on sunday.
