Progress

[cjsmith]

I'm making very good progress. I can now get around better without the crutches than with, although a walker would probably still be better -- safer, at least -- than either. Preparing simple food is easier because my balance has improved enormously: moving a plate from the oven to the counter is no longer a carefully launched near-fall with a sudden countertop grab at the end. I can do stairs upright. I can even wiggle my toes and flex my ankles a little. At this rate by Monday I'll be tap dancing.

I am about to attempt a shower. No getting a drop of water on either foot, no standing up. Ah, the comedic potential!
