Guess what? I can cross my legs!!!! I discovered that I could do this about two weeks ago and it seems to be my favorite way of sitting now. I can remember if I wanted to cross my leg, which I knew I could not do, but if I would try I would have to reach down and lift the crossing leg with both hands to get it over the knee. Now I can just swing my leg up and over. Two years ago I was the person who would be having to sit down on a chair by the kitching sink in order to get the dishes done. I can remember clear as if it was today that I cried at how sad life was this way and what would my future hold becoming less and less independent. So this has certainly changed .. I'm crossing my legs now.
I'm having a little trouble with my commutes home from work and being drawn to an old habit of munching along the way. I had started to carry a bag of those little carrots to nibble on but forgot to take some today. I also have thought of digging out some audio books to listen to on my drives to make constructive use of the hour drive each way.
Off to bed now so I can get up for my swimfit before going to work. Yeah crossing legs >>> wow>>
