Liberation

So I haven't worn my boot or brace for the last two weeks! And my ankle hasn't felt better. My PT has been going so well, it always feels so good. Since I passed my 10 week mark, we have upgraded to all sorts of fun new things. I do balance things, I can stand on my surgery leg for a few seconds before having to grab onto something. My leg is getting stronger, I am now using muscles that I haven't had to use for the past year since I used to put all my weight on my right side. Last week, I was waking up almost every night with leg cramps, just from my muscles getting used to being used again. It feels stronger everyday and soon, I will be able to start walking in some of my cute shoes again! I think I will always lean towards flat shoes, but sometimes a girl just has to wear some cute heels. I am planning on wearing heels to graduation on May 24th, so thats my goal.

I spent the weekend in Winston Salem at my grandmothers house, and my mom came up too. We spent all day Saturday cleaning her windows. It was actually kind of fun! I went around the outside with a ladder while my mom stayed on the inside and we just circled the house! We should have re-thought the position, because the windows were caked in NC pollen, which I am super allergic to. I spent the rest of the weekend sniffling and sneezing. It was fun to spend the time with my family, we always have a good time together. We started planning my graduation party and what we are going to cook, its gonna be great! Its really starting to hit me that I am actually going to graduate for real. Just because I've been out of class since December, I haven't really felt like I was done. May 24th is coming quickly, and I'm really looking forward to having a bunch of friends and family here to celebrate with me! Jimmy graduates on May 10th, then its my turn on the 24th, so we are going to get to spend a bunch of time together in May. I am so in love with him, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him!!
