Making Progress

I had a really good day of therapy yesterday.  I was able to start doing board transfers with very little help.  That's where you use your hands to walk yourself across a board that makes a bridge between your wheelchair and a bed.  It requires strength and balance, and I couldn't do it at all just a couple days ago.

The other thing I did today was to go from lying on a bed to sitting on the edge of the bed almost completely by myself for the first time.  It was EXTREMELY difficult, and I was light-headed and in a lot of pain by the time it was done, but I did it, and it felt really good to accomplish with minimal help.
