WOW! Met a goal I really didn't know I had.....

My daughter was staring at me yesterday and said, "Hey mom, You are crossing your legs, I have never seen you do that before." Suddenly I realized that I was and that I have been doing it for a week or so now. Maybe it is a small thing but I am so excited that yes, I can cross my legs now without pain and can keep them crossed for a long time!!!! YEA! Thought I would share my WOW moment.:crying:

Way to go!! I've noticed that I can do it w/out having to pull my leg over and I can do it w/the other leg too!

It's always been hard to do it w/my left leg. lol

Congrats! I understand about it not being a goal you thought you had - I can't cross my legs without sitting on my side, if that makes sense. I can't remember when I had to start sitting weird to get the legs crossed - but I'm aware of it now and am aware of what chairs it won't work in. I can't wait to not have to think about it anymore!

That is awesome. I remember hitting that goal. I couldn't wait. I cross my legs all the time now. It is more comfortable. Weird uh?

I like that feeling too, being able to do the small things, I put on a pair of pantyhose last week without a wrestling match with my legs! I can feel my knee bones touching now when I get in bed and lay on my side too, so weird! I am colder now though, and my husband is the one who is hot. When I was heavier, I would sweat at night, he can't get over the change. I actually got a slap on the butt the other day in some of my new jeans!
