Hey there.

Big progress to report in the last few days! And I mean BIG!!! Boy, Saturday was full! I was able to balance on just my left foot for 33 seconds!!! Woo hoo! That sure beats the 1-2 seconds I was able to get in my PT assessment last week. Right on!!! I'll definitely keep working on that and maybe I'll be able to 'wow' my PT when I go in for my first appointment. And I did Wii fit for the longest I've been able to go so far. Big progress! And then I went with Josh and practiced driving! Kinda freaky but good nonetheless. I'm not sure if the discomfort is because I haven't driven in a while or because it was my first time driving the Subie. Either way it'll take some practice before I am comfy driving again. It'll definitely help when I can use my left arm a little more too.

As for today, I went to the gym with Mom and had three more big successes. First, I was able do sets of 12 on the bicep curl machine for the first time. Second, I was able to do 3 sets on the assisted pull up machine for the first time. And lastly, I felt comfortable on the elliptical for the first time. And comfortable enough to do a whole mile!!! Not too shabby! I'm getting there - even if it is slow. And I recognize that it's only slow to me. Either way - YEAH!

That's about all I've got. Thanks for keeping up.
