I have always tried things I wasn’t necessarily sure would work.
You may feel free to read the post before this if you need proof. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
A couple of weeks ago I felt something different in my right foot.
It wasn’t a good feeling. It wasn’t a bad feeling. It was a surprise that it was any kind of feeling at all.
It just felt different.
Really great way to describe it. I know.
So last night I decided to test a theory.
I had Pete standing ready in case I wasn’t quite as ready as I was willing to guess I was.
I stood up.
I put both feet on the ground.
I let go of my safety handles.
Both of my legs and feet supported me as my left hand finished a task that WASN’T holding on for on for dear life.
For the first time since I had my strokes I stood on my own two feet without grasping something.
It felt amazing.
It was a step in a direction I don’t even know how to navigate.
I had waited for this.
I’m ready for the future to start again.
Congrats! What an exciting accomplishment. And no…you are NOT inspirational.

Well, I’m late to the party! Whoo hoo! I can’t tell you how big the grin on my face is, Anissa! Everyday another miracle awaits–but miracles sometimes take grueling hard work at the same time. You have grit and grace, and I’ve come to realize how important perseverance is in your journey. I feel honored to be able to read about your progress. Thank you!

Kristin´s last post…These were a few of my favorite things
You’ve struck me from the beginning as someone who has always had the ability to stand on your own two feet and face whatever is thrown at you. It gives me tears of joy to know that you’re physically able to do again what you’ve always conquered mentally. I love you, Anissa, keep it up. Soon you’ll be back to kicking ass with you’re own two feet again, too.
