Yesterday was a big day for me…I showered! Well with the help of my incredible boyfriend I sat down on a stool in our shower and he bathed me, but still, I am clean for the first time since last Friday!

I even blow dried my bangs (awkwardly) – I felt like me again.

The rest of the day was spent on the couch watching a girly movie with a dear friend while I gave my hardworking and attentive boyfriend the afternoon off to go for a bike ride.

I even turned on my side for a bit – look at me go!

I did experience some nausea attacks, but after a few views of the bottom of a garbage bag and a few anti-nausea pills I was back to my old self.

Today is another day and all I can say is that yes, I am uncomfortable , in pain and frustrated that all of this has happened. But each day comes with new successes and accomplishments and I just have to keep focused on the goal of getting well again. And all of your support is certainly driving me forward to post more and more personal wins on the blog so thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your outpouring of kindness and concern.
