Each day gets a little better. Nothing is easy, but it gets better. We've had more laughs than tears the last few days and that is just what we need! We are just trying to make the best out of a bad situation. It's all we can do!
So I've been meaning to post a video of me walking so you actually get an idea of where we are starting from. This video is from my last day in the hospital (yesterday). These were the goals I had to pass in order to get the okay to go home.

It takes so long to get from point A to point B, but as I get more comfortable, and my muscles start behaving, I should get faster. The only issue I'm having with the slowness now is getting to the bedside commode in time! I have to start giving myself more time from the point I notice I have to pee to getting someone to help me get there. It can take up to five minutes to get up and on the pot, so I can't wait til the last minute to go! No accidents yet, but a few close calls! And I'm sure my "nurses" don't want to deal with a mess on the floor. They've already got enough to do!
