Today's advance

And today, I put my shoes on and tied them without any help, and then I walked around outside for a while.

I know these things don't seem very exciting, but for me they're very important. I feared I might never be able to do them again. Now I believe I may get back to 90% of what I had. The nightmare was that I would be profoundly crippled forever, and now I know I've dodged that bullet.

1 That's extremely good news. If you've got fine motor and you've got locomotion, you've got independence.

One thing I was worried about was whether I would be able to walk while carrying a plate, but not a worry now because I can already do it.

At this point the only possible problem remaining is my ability to shower without assisstance and without too much risk of falling, and I think that will be fine if we can install a couple of rails.
