I decided I need to tell people I can move my left foot. It is so exciting that to me that I can hardly tell you.  

I have been able to move my right foot for a while but my left foot has only moved downward.  Until this week. I can move my left foot.  It is so exciting.  

I think I have made some of the nurses and CNA's nervous by the fact that I am trying to stand by myself without any help. Not that I want to make people nervous. But it is kind of fun to make some people nervous. 

I really made myself and some of the staff nervous. I end up falling out of my chair.  It made me so nervous that I started laughing. I didn't get hurt if you are wondering. But my chair got a little bent and I had to wait until the next day to get it straightened out. Anyway I had to sit on the floor for a while I waited for some people to come and help me get back into my chair.

I guess I need to not to try to bend over so far,  but I also learned that I can't rely on my right arm. It is really hard to know what my right side is doing, and sometimes when I do know it's still hard to stop my right side sometimes. I might not have had the problem I had but I was leaning slightly to my right and the controller for my chair is on the right. I guess I will need to turn off my chair in the future. 

Maybe I need to practice with my right hand more. I haven't done that in a while on my chair. 

Well this is my gift to everyone to everyone I was not going to write any thing but then I had to tell people about my foot.
