Hi Hippies

I have reached a 9 week (LHR) milestone!

Today I put my left foot on the side of the bath and dried my toes. Getting at the little one was a bit of a painful stretch but I got there in the end! I also sat on the bed and put a sock on my left foot without using an animate object!

So for me it has taken 9 weeks; for you I hope its sooner!

    Okaaayyyy - that is a milestone to celebrate. Now you can toe the line! I cannot wait until I can scrub my own toes and dry them.

    Whooee!

    Congrats, David! It feels so good to be able to reach our feet, especially when it seemed so impossible just a few weeks before! Keep up with those milestones!

    I share your joy in the small things! I'm six weeks and eying the prize.  I can almost clip my own toenails.  This weekend I will try!

    I can't wait to do my own and have a shower, ooooh bliss. Only wore socks twice, but couldn't get them on myself before the op so that will be great too. 

    Well done, keep the progress up.
