And I did! Weight-bearing at last! Under the influence of Claui's embroidered message (destined for the Christmas tree but adorning my window sill just now,) I practiced pulling myself to a standing position from my wheelchair to a walker. Eventually I was able to stand unsupported (look, Ma, no hands) and able to stand at a table putting together a puzzle for five minutes.
No pain, a tiny bit of swimmie-headnesss at first, and the therapist feels things are looking good for rapid progress. Walking was not attempted -- perhaps tomorrow.
I will, of course, keep you posted on my progress.

Hooray...HURRAY!!!
Halleluia!! In the words of the musical Hamilton, you gonna rise up!
It's the little things, eh?
The little things become the biggest things.
I can still remember the pure joy when I was able to walk after breaking my ankle in 4 places. A word of advice, take it slowly. Congratulations!
You can do the work, and only you will know the joy of that effort! Congratulations!
I remember that 5-minute puzzle. :-) A little thing, but it felt like a triumph. I'm so glad you're making progress.
Well done Vicki!
