It was a long trip home , we got a complimentary upgrade from coach to Business Class (on United) from Bejing to Chicago, so it was an extremely comfortable (posh) long trip home. I wasn’t feeling too great when we left, so leaving was bittersweet. I didn’t want to leave feeling as dizzy & off balance as I was. I felt like I really let Deena down, I mean she went into this with all my talk & research of great things happening, and here we were leaving after 25 days with little improvement. I’ve been home for two days now, I still get really tired at like 2:30 – 3:00 p.m., and usually take a 1-2 hour nap.
okay, okay I feel really good. My balance is getting better, I actually visited and did a few errands today withOUT my walker. It wasn’t pretty, but I was solo. I start PT on Monday…I can’t wait. I made an observation on my walking that I’m hoping I can learn to correct…my hips round out with my steps, in other words my steps come from the side, instead of from underneath my torso. My speech has improved greatly, my handwriting is now legible, I can still squat ! Look out – Here I come- FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION. Can’t knock me down! I’ll update blog 1/week for a little while. Stay tuned….
