I've been think about things I've done recently that have been more successful than the last time I did the same thing. For example, last Monday I went to the zoo and walked for FOUR hours. It was many times easier than the last time I went to the zoo a couple of months ago. I didn't feel like I was slowing people down. I was able to keep up with the group. It felt good.
On July 10, we took a plane ride to Seattle for a wedding. The last time (January) I was at the airport I collapsed after getting off the airplane because my muscles were just done. There was just no strength left. So, I was a little nervous gearing up for this trip since my last airport experience was so terrible. This time was infinitely better. For one, I didn't collapse. I was also able to ride the escalators this time instead of having to hunt for a elevator each time I needed to change levels. That was nice! I was super impressed when I rode on the escalator with two rolling bags behind me! I did it though.
I am able to bend over and pick up stuff off the floor without holding onto something now! I feel like I am in better control over my mood. Stairs are getting easier, but not quite to where I would like my skill level to be while doing them yet. I'm making progress, but still have room to grow.
