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.
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.

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

Upward and onward! Yes, I reversed that on purpose!

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

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

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.

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

The fact that you stood up for such
Among Us a significant duration, entirely under your own power, after enduring 18 difficult months speaks volumes about your determination and perseverance.

Over time, players
Block Blast Puzzle encounter special blocks that have unique abilities, such as clearing entire rows or columns, which adds a layer of strategy to the game. These blocks may appear randomly or be earned through achievements.

I am really impressed with your
Undead Corridor efforts. Standing up after 18 months, even just for a minute, is a big win. Congratulations on persevering and not giving up!

One time, after a nasty ankle sprain, I faced a similar slow, painful recovery. Just walking without a limp felt like scaling a particularly steep Slope. Each step was a conscious effort, a tiny triumph against discomfort and impatience.

This isn't just about standing; it's a testament to unwavering resolve and the sheer grit of overcoming physical challenges. A truly inspiring tale of resilience. I remember a time when I was learning a particularly difficult section of a
geometry dash level, spending hours trying to nail the timing and execution. It felt like an endless grind, failing repeatedly at the same point, but the eventual success, however small, was incredibly satisfying.
