OMG walking

[brightlotusmoon]

I walked around my office building today.
I even climbed stairs. Three flights of stairs.
And after work, I walked six streets, and then I walked home from the bus stop.
Hurt like a bitch, but I did it.
This feels so good I don't even know what else to say.
Something in my legs is releasing. Breathing. Relaxing. Loosening. The only way I can describe it is "air conditioning" under my skin. It is what happens when occasionally my CP-affected muscles become loose and relaxed enough to actually feel "normal" (and what is normal anyway), at least temporarily.
I feel so relieved.
I can almost walk normally again.
This is awesome news.
Let's see how long it lasts, hmm? It might all crumble tomorrow and I might be back where I started. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
Yes.

I hope you can walk completely normally again soon.

That's great news. :)
Do you think it was stretching that helped? I noticed after yoga yesterday how loose my normally tightened muscles were, too.

Yes, without a doubt. My boss suggested that I climb up the stairs, but not down, to stretch the muscles and tendons out as much as possible. It worked beautifully!
