It’s been over a couple weeks since I’ve posted. I realize the inconsistency of my posts makes it hard to stay up-to-date. Thanks to all of you who are so extremely supportive of me.
By far the biggest thing that’s happened lately is that I got married yesterday to the love of my life, Rebecca.
It was tons of stress beforehand leading into tons of fun for the wedding. It went better than I could have hoped. We are really happy and thank everyone that attended and the many well wishes from those that couldn’t.
As far as my progress is concerned, I was able to really push the envelope yesterday. I stood for the entire wedding, leaning against a post my dad and Paul had installed a day before. It worked great so I only needed one crutch to stand.
Then at the reception, which was awesome (if I may say so), I walked around, got on the dance floor “danced” (read: swayed) with Rebecca, then danced as much as I could with crutches. Walter, one of my RIC PTs, was there and was extremely helpful. I definitely felt more confident with him there. At the end of the night, I climbed probably 40 steps, exhausted, and walked to bed. All in all an awesome night - not because of my progress… plenty of other stuff trumped that.
Also, about a week before the wedding, I climbed more stairs than ever before at 616. It took me less than 2 hours to do that. I don’t know if I’ll have the energy to make it up the entire Sears Tower next Sunday, but whatever I do I’m going to give it all I got!
I’m extremely excited about how things are going right now on all fronts of my life. It feels like lots of opportunities are opening up and I hope that continues.
Thank you, Lord, for all you have given me.
Gnight,
Chip
