Standing up.
2.5 months/10 weeks to the day - almost to the minute since I got mowed down.
69 days since I last stood up. Today at 3:45pm I did it. I stood up.
I didn’t get this far without putting in a lot of work, mental and physical, finding motivation everyday in the things I love. Of course the first was my family and my friends but wanting to have a swim in the ocean and ride my bike (non-existent ownership at this point) with my dad, my buddies and my kids.
My biggest shout out goes to who’s had to drop normality to be there for me and our little family. Making room in your life for a broken husband, hospital visits, home mods, eye surgery for the cat and a baby that is determined to destroy you. I look forward to you healing too.
I’m well aware that I still have a very long way to go. This part of the rehab is going to be much slower. But the 🥕 was dangled today with the physio wheeling in an exercise 🚲!
I want to ride again much to my wife’s dismay, but this wasn’t a bike accident.
