Whiplash

I'm slowly coming around to the reality that I am no longer disabled. It has been hard to wrap my mind around becoming re-abled so suddenly. As suddenly as I became disabled. My whole world just shifted on its axis. Nothing seems impossible anymore. 

I've always agreed that food is medicine. But I never imagined a diet change could literally cure me. I'm still stunned by that fact. I AM CURED. Literally. I can walk, dance, climb. I don't need my wheelchair anymore. The world is open to me once more.

Tracking my progress with my Fitbit.
Keeping encouraged with my new bracelet "You've got this."

I still get sleepy in the afternoon sometimes. It has only been three weeks (today). Who knows what other changes are ahead of me. 

My neurologist was surprised and happy for me. She agreed that I can do a Baclofen taper. That's the first drug I want to see if I can live without. These medications make me foggy headed and I'm hoping I can either live without them, or with a much smaller dose.

I wish it wasn't so horribly hot out. I want to be celebrating out in nature! Not stuck in the house. 

Luckily I can (and am) still swim. There's always the pool.

I'm not feeling deprived at all with the delicious food options.

I feel restless. Eager to do new things. To explore. I feel like a little kid kept inside on a rainy day. Errrrr. I want to go outside and play.
