Daylight Savings

Don't forget to set your clock ahead.
I watched my computer clock roll from 1:59 to 3:00.
I knew it would happen but watched anyway.
Cool.

I had a good day today. Went out and helped my son with baseball and watched three movies. I think I'll read more tomorrow. Reading is better for when you drift off to sleep regularly. A book is easier to rewind back.
Walking through the house with no assistance equipment or just a cane most of the time. When its getting to be Vicatin time, my walker gets used somewhat.
Each day is getting better. I do have to visualize myself running with my kids in order to get through all the exercises. The goal helps.
Glad to hear you're improving on schedule, or even ahead of it. --BobBackInTex wrote:I went to bed (easy chair) early, but now I'm awake. My wife said I shouldn't go to church tomorrow. Maybe I won't now as I'm not getting much sleep.

Walking without any assistance equipment ? Holy Crappola Batman!
Please follow you PT's instructions. He will know what you should be doing given what he sees in your mobility and strength.BackInTex wrote:peacock2121 wrote:Love the new avatar!

Thanks. Its no ES but it does say "BiT" as I'm currently configured. Three quick searches on images.google, a little Photoshop magic, and poof!
I think I will send it to the state so they can adopt it as an official symbol. It would look good hanging from all the pickups and Suburbans around here. I may cut out the hat and boot silloutes in blue plastic and put them on my placard (that my wife hasn't gotten for me yet). The placard is good for 3 months. Should be way more than I need or will use.
If you don't include Vicatin as assistance equipment then yes, I am able to get around without. It is dishearting to go to bed walking freely (well, with arms out touching walls and furniture for safety) and to wake up grabbing at the walker. But its only been 6 days. I am impatient. That's why my biggest concern is trying to do too much when the progress is not as fast as I'd like it to be. My expectations have been increased due to the speed of my recovery so far. But I do think I will hit a plateau in the next day or two that I will have to ride across for a week or so before seeing any more improvement. We'll see.
