progress / holy MOLY
i stood on two feet today!
granted, it was brief, and my ankle won't flex enough (i.e., so my leg is perpendicular to the ground) to let me stand with my feet side-by-side. i had to kind of point my left foot out at an angle and ahead of my right. but it was flat on the floor, and i was putting some weight on it, long enough to stand in front of the mirror and brush my hair.
i tried to walk, but that would require me picking up my right foot entirely, and i don't think that's happening yet.
the muscles and tendons in my foot feel all stiff and clicky from being immobilized. maybe i ought to be writing this entry with my toes, for the exercise.
and now it's time for today's funny quote from Maria Of Last Year:
i hope this new apartment is TOTALLY AWESOME in EVERY WAY, because i am never moving again.
