I would like to thank everyone for their kind messages and many of you coming to see me and be with me. Yesterday was a great day; for the first time, I was able to stand up while holding onto the parallel bars. It felt so great to be upright. It's the first time in three months I've seen myself as a whole person.
Today was another big day; it began when I styled my own hair and looked like myself again. In the afternoon I worked out with my therapist who, when I sat up at the edge of the bed on my own, got tears in her eyes. People in this hospital are so kind and professionally they are so good; I'm really fortunate to be here. If I'm lucky, I may be home within a matter of weeks!
Keep following the blog for further developments, and thank you again for your kind wishes and prayers.
Love, JoAnne
That is so impressive JoAnne! You deserve to be a proud patient. No surgery today?
