walking!

I just walked! Yes, yes I did. :) They got me to PT and up on the parallel bars and I actually walked down it twice. I'm pretty impressed with myself. I had someone in front of and behind me but they didn't have to help. I even stood up by myself! Yay Jenn! Then I did some more leg exercises and she had me try the walker. For some reason

Yay! Good job!

I have a question (which, I know you said you'd post a full entry about the whole ordeal but I'm kinda curious)...you said you broke your back but what part did you actually break? I thought when you break your back or spine you basically become paralyzed? Are you just THAT lucky that you're not? My boyfriend was trying to explain what might have happened to you but I just thought I'd ask you.

I hope you're feeling better and better! I'm trying to compile websites for you to browse while you're in the hospital. I know there are only so many websites you can check out until you're bored. (Check out comedy central's website meanwhile! They ahve fun games!)

They use so many technical terms it's hard for me to even know for sure. All I can say really is that it's called my L1 and it burst. Something about my first lumbar. When it burst it "compromised" my spinal cord by 50%. In most cases the spinal cord cannot handle that much pressure and paralysis does occur. Yes, I really am THAT lucky!

Thanks for the websites and all of your concerns and well wishes; it really means a lot to me. :)
