So yesterday, Phil asked me how I have been feeling as he was stretching me. I was happy to report that despite the weather (AND I AM SICK OF THIS WEATHER!!! iT’S KILLING ME!!!), my legs have been feeling the most normal that they have felt in since I can’t remember when. I was excited to tell Phil this news but then I needed to add, “except in the morning. I feel bad in the morning!” He continued to stretch me out at the Keiser machine and then told me to head over to the table. He moved the table away from the wall again so he could get on both sides. He told me to dangle my feet off of my bed in the morning as I dangled my feet over the side of the table. I told him that they don’t want to dangle in the morning and he told me “but they can” and pointed to my legs and feet. I told him that they FEEL normal and he told me that they LOOK normal.
Driving home, I heard my “Sean and Phil” song TWICE! It ended and I changed the radio station and heard it again. I don’t know that yesterday was “the best day of my life,” but it’s coming! “I feel it in my soul!”
This morning, I woke up and turned my first alarm off. I didn’t want to get out from under my warm covers! I turned the second on off and reluctantly threw my covers back. Man, it was SO cold!!! My legs were all curled up and it took a minute to get them untangled from each other and over the side of my bed. My “poop” leg knew what to do and it just dangled there. My left leg needed some coaxing to “just relax.” It started to and then I had to get up because otherwise I would be SUPER late. I guess tomorrow morning I just have to “suck it up” and get out from under the covers earlier. As I was driving to work, my legs did begin to normalize as I began to thaw from going from the house to the car. Even now, as I write this, they are normalizing and that’s exciting!
