OH, the places I can reach now!

  • Popular Post
Made you look. :P I believe these are called NSV.


In the car:

I can pop the truck w/o having to open the door to reach the latch on the floor

I can reach down to pick something up off the floor w/o unbuckling my seatbelt

I can climb into the truck w/o my husband pushing me in (but that doesn't stop him for helping me - he likes the view) LOL


At home:

I can bend down to cut my own toenails w/o gasping for air after each toe

I can get up and down from the floor with more ease

I can dry my own back

I can touch the bottom of the washing machine drum when unloading


At work:

I can cross my legs under the desk


Everyday I can see progress.


I'm so happy. Have a GREAT day everyone! :D

That is great! I remember one day I was watching TV late one night, I looked down and my legs were crossed. I couldn't believe it. I haven't crossed my legs in over 10 years. I screamed for my husband. He came running in the room thinking something was wrong. I said look!!!! He high five me and laughed. It's the little things.

Awesome!! THat's when you know you made the right decision to have the surgery!! It's the best to be able to do those things. Congrats!
