I never before realized how much my attitude and self-esteem depends on my ability to move with ease--to run, to dance, to clean my room, to grab the newspaper with my free hand as I quickly pass by, to jump out of bed in the morning, to take a brief shower, to stand on 2 feet to cook a dinner (however amateur).
Now that the hardest part is behind me, I wish I had been more optimistic, but let me justify my attitude by saying that I tried hard, and on occasion achieved said optimism. But, at the time, I very sincerely felt almost irrevocably tired, frustrated, misunderstood, and perpetually behind.
But today there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I will be able to walk on my own again soon! I will be able to focus all my energy on my life goals and helping others rather than just trying to get up the stairs or open the door. I will be healed in time to go to Jerusalem.
Cheers to soon being able to do athletic things once again:

For a very active girl to be slowed down by crutches must be very difficult! Have you really mastered standing on your head the yoga way?
Apparently I had at one time at least!
You’re so hardcore on that longboard and I love it.
