Hey guys! I promised I would keep you updated so here goes... I had a doctors appointment today at the hospital. I have them weekly. Since I can't walk I'm transported by ambulance which is actually pretty cool. My doctors say I'm making progress. They took out my PIC line and put me on oral medication which made me really happy because believe it or not its really annoying to have a needle in your arm! Here comes the biggest news of the day- I took my first steps today!!!!! It was very painful but very exciting. I hadn't walked in exactly a month! My pain is still pretty bad but much better than it was and. I've been moving my legs a lot more and sat up without help the other day which was pretty big. Some of you asked if it was scary- while I was in the hospital it was pretty scary but being home relaxed me and raised my spirits. Sometimes I still get scared when I think about what could have happened if the doctor didn't catch it when they did. I'm more bored than scared. I'm getting better everyday and I really appreciate your concern and sympathy. TTYL!
