Hello everyone! Today was an amazing day! My nurse brought me a container of Nutella- yummo!!, I got my eyebrows waxed, and...... wait for it..... I get to go to the bathroom by myself and don't have to call a nurse every time! I passed the chair transfer from bed to chair to toilet and back again. I have enough strength to stand at the toilet and do what's appropriate so I'm pretty stoked!
Cali put a brace into my shoe this morning that will keep my foot from dropping and dragging when I take a step or climb a stair. It felt extremely odd but it did help. Next she is going to fit me with a device that will stimulate the muscle and help me pick up my foot when walking. I've seen it in a lot of the MS magazines as advertisements.
I have the okay to do open gym on Saturday morning. There is a leg machine, arm machine, and some type of arm weights that I can work on.
I'm pretty excited because I feel like I'm surprising them at times with what I can do so I hope to keep it up. I'm pretty sure I need to get a chair when I leave here but I want more than anything to be able to walk out of here!! How about I walk out of here pushing my chair?? At least if I get a chair I can do something I haven't done in probably 4-5 years.... go to the mall!
