My Deja Vu Of Walking...

Yes this is me standing underneath my quote that has been written on the wall of the place that I used to/do go to therapy, "Neuroworx". When I first met Jan Black, she was just a therapist for another doctor so I consider myself an old schooler because I've been with Jan before "Neuroworx" was even in existence.
I use to live in a world of "therapy land" and finally got to a point where I realized that I needed to quit being selfish and LIVE again. I went back to work, bought a home, was a single parent, and stopped physically taking the best care of myself. Even though I missed therapy it just didn't fit in the cards. I knew that I could do it at home but you never do it at home. You always come up with other things that you should really be doing instead. So I stopped.....

...Now that I've got the time, I decided to start going back and I love it. It's hard to really explain but I'm just right back where I should be. We have fun! They make me laugh and I'm humbled every day. I see people who can't do anything because of how bad their injury is. They can't use their arms. They can't get around. They can't move from one spot to another without help. I'm humbled and at times have also felt really guilty and selfish. How can I complain when my life is a million times easier then theirs. Like I said, I'm humbled every day that I'm there and I need that. It brings me back to reality...

OK...so this is a warning. What you are about to see is not sexy. It's not cute. It looks awkward. But it's so great! Hard as hell but so awesome and more than words can explain! When I first learned how to do this 5 yrs ago, it was scary. I would have to talk myself into it and my famous line, my quote became "It's all mental" which is why they put it up on their wall. A classic Katie saying...

Anyway...just wanted to show you what else I've been working on. I had to brag a little and show that I can still walk with my leg braces. I'm proud of myself that I can do it! I'll get better like I was before but I'd say that it's not too bad for try #1 and #2 for missing out on doing it for 4 yrs, huh? :)
