Woo-hoo!
November 24th, 2005I don’t believe it! It feels like a miracle! I went to the rehab centre this morning and managed to amaze both Loreta and myself by doing 5 mintes on the motormed which is the most I’ve ever done on it, and THEN standing perfectly upright in the standing frame for a full 5 minutes! Using the motormed for even 3 minutes used to knacker me, ut then 5 minutes standing as well! yayyyy! I can’t remember the last time I stood up that straight and felt secure and grounded in my feet. Loreta got a mirror so I could see myself and my posure looked great (for me) and I found myself smiling just to see the difference! Standing upright also meant that my tummy picked itself up off my lap (!!) and there was a definite gap between it and the front/tabletop of the frame. I’m not sure which of us was more amazed and excited, me or Loreta!
Think I may have overdone it a little ‘cos I’m feeling knackered now, I need to remember that I’m doing stuff I haven’t done in a very long time so I should take it easy. Also mustn’t forget that I’m not loads of painkillers at the moment too. Still, my achievement is nothing to sniff at, although it’s not really my achievement is it? I don’t think I actually did anything, I just stood up and took advantage of the injections.
