Busy, busy day!

I had absolutely no time to be bored this afternoon! First I had a visit from the Inova Home Health Physical Therapist. I already graduated from home PT ;). Apparently I'm more mobile than she had planned for me to be and more self- sufficient than I should be. See, being stubborn does pay off :). And to think people keep yelling at me for being stubborn....

The visit took about an hour and a half and most of it was just answering questions. I got to show off a bit on how good I am at transferring from wheelchair (or scooter) to bed and back, to the couch and back, and then I had to show her my lovely living accommodations, and then she showed me some rehab that ironically enough, I was already doing. Guess it pays off to be an athletic trainer ;). I asked her about further rehab and apparently at this point there's really not much else I can do. The big thing is keeping my right leg strong and keeping my left leg moving. Seems simple enough right? She also said I'm allowed to do some standing just so long as I don't stand for too long or too much. I'll try to be patient about that. Silly how being told I can stand should be so exciting, but it is. Seriously, I feel like I'm going to appreciate the little things in life so much more by the time this is done. So if you see me get excited at some point about something that seems mundane, just let me live in the moment :).

Literally right after the PT left, Diana, Janine, and Tay (friends from FCPS) came by for a visit and brought me lots of cool "boredom busters". It was really nice to get to see them and get to have some social time. I should be much better entertained over the next few days :). I'm just hanging out for now and trying to decide if I want to read or watch a movie. I've already been snacking on my treats! Haha. I think Loren and Jordana are going to come tonight as well. Yay for visitors!

So things to be thankful for:

*All of my awesome friends, you guys have really been helping me get through this

*Graduating from PT

*Not being outside in the freezing cold and rain for practice today ;)

Things to work on:

*Asking for help

*Not being stubborn

*Not eating all my candy in one sitting :).
