Hoy es el dia!

Today is the day! In roughly 1 hour I walk into Dr. Guyton's office to see if he deems me worthy of that lovely blessing, walking. A blessing which I will probably take for granted again, but not for a very long while.

'Count your blessings' is all I'm saying.

I'm very excited. I've had a countdown, oddly enough not on here, but other places to this day. Finally, walking. Putting weight on that leg. I get to go upstairs so I won't fail out of my classes. I used to say pre-cal, but since I aced my last test, I'm more concerned with AP English. Anyways, interesting news which calls attention to my bum leg even though it sounds weird: my left thigh grew a half inch! This is good, because it means I'm not atrophying or anything. The pool work has payed off. Possibly the hydrotrack would've been better, but I'm too stinking tall. Alas, my long, impossibly troublesome legs!

Well, there it is: I might be able to soar on 1 1/4 leg in a couple of hours! Wish me luck!

I am ecstatic for you, Mel! I wish you all the best and hope that today you do get to walk! I will be praying for you! I love you!

Thanks to you!

Actually, I'm better than expected, so I can put 50% of my weight on my bum leg!

I was gonna say call me when you got the news, but too late! I am WAY excited anyway, and I will tell my friends!

I'll write a longer post later, but for now...:

The thing went great. I can stand without assistance and am now attending my upstairs classes...upstairs. Just in time for a test in AP Eng.! Yay!
Precal was fun. There were only 11 of us anyways...
