Great Day Walking Between Parallel Bars! Stood Supporting My Own Weight

Well today was a great day walking between the parallel bars in Physiotherapy. I stood up straight for the first time supporting my own weight!!! 🙂 Every time I go in there I try to straighten up and stand but I couldn’t until today. I’m happy to see that all those miles on the SciFit bike as I work towards rebuilding leg strength and increasing muscular endurance is paying off. It’s a start! It’s slowly coming.

My physiotherapists always said you’ll get there one day, celebrate the small victories, baby steps till the big goal. They always see progress and it could be the smallest thing. Well today I seen progress. It felt some good standing supporting my own weight. While I was walking I was putting more weight into my legs. It felt so much better today. Hard work and determination pays off! Today was one step closer towards recovering from Guillain Barre Syndrome and to one day be walking again. It was a good day in therapies! 🙂
