1m24s

One minute, twenty-four seconds.  Doesn't sound like all that much of a much, does it? And to you, the members of my Pond Scum, it isn't. 


For me, though? It's the culmination of 18 miserable, stinking months. Because that's how long I stood up for, completely without help of any sort. 48 seconds, 16 seconds, and 20 seconds, using only a grab bar for balance so I didn't faceplant immediately.

By the end of the third stint, I was a bit winded. Okay, a lot winded. But what would you expect, considering this was the first time since February 28, 2021 that I've stood up totally under my own power.

Yay. Ehehe.

1 Fabulous!  I was going to say, "you'll be sore tomorrow,"  but I suspect you're already sore today. Real progress!

6 Calm and unruffled on the surface, and paddling like hell below, just like your namesake?

7 Learning to walk again is tough, but learning to stand up unassisted is harder still. So just keep it up. You've got this!

9 Good job! My father also started to get up a couple of weeks ago. I've been on this case for months. Laying in bed is a sure way to never get up again.

12 I am so glad to hear that. 
The Wright Brothers' first powered flight lasted 12 seconds. You lasted seven times longer than them.
