I love noticing what I can do every day. Thankfully, it's all been in the positive direction so far (since starting the new therapy, anyway): every day I can do something a little more, something a little different that I wasn't doing the day before. It would be most disturbing if it were the other way around, I'm sure. But so far it hasn't been.
Well, no, that's not true! I remember quite clearly what it was like to wake up every day and find myself numb in yet another new area of my body, to find my muscles that much more frozen and unresponsive. It was terrifying.
Hopefully with this new treatment all that is behind me now.
And the really neat thing about noticing new stuff you can do is that you appreciate it all over again. How often do we appreciate our ability to walk down a flight of stairs by ourselves? To make ourselves a cup of coffee? To call up the the morning news on our computers and read it?
I'm even appreciating that feeling you get when you eat or drink something hot and then you eat something cold and your jaw kind of freezes and it hurts like the dickens?
Just did that to myself: a combo of morning coffee and frozen morning smoothie.
Okay, maybe we'll avoid that one in the future. I don't appreciate it that much.
Ouch!
