Baby steps

I walked for the first time since surgery! It was one of the strangest sensations I've ever...sensed. It felt like I was trying on new feet. My back has been feeling rather crummy while laying in bed, and when I adjust my sitting position I experience some intense pain. So I was very apprehensive about walking.

But with the help of two lovely physical therapists I was able to complete two laps around the our floor and felt like I could easily handle more. I had to lean on the physical therapists as I didn't trust my balance. It felt like I hadn't walked in years, and my brain was trying to adjust. I feel so incredibly relieved knowing I can walk. I'l never take walking for granted again!
