Gains

It was pretty much a perfect day.

 

Rain

 

Physical therapy

 

Cooking

 

Snuggling animals

 

Seventy-Five percent body weight, with one-hundred percent next week's goal. It's all a guesstimate.

 

Balance was introduced today. I'm as shocked as anyone at my proficiency. I don't know why, as I've been on one leg for seven weeks. That's pretty much a balancing act, right? First was the balancing board, which prepared me for all to follow. Next was balancing on several inches of foam. How does that feel? Easy compared to the balancing board. Okay, put one foot in front of the other, perp-walk style. Now, take this ball and pass it from hand to hand while singing YMCA. Not really. Not the YMCA part. But yes, I did pass the ball from hand to hand, while awkwardly positioned on several inches of shifty foam, ten or twenty passes. It felt so good. My secret? The knotty pine I focused on has two knots close together, looking like the eyes of an owl.

 

The knotty pine owl and I? We had a staring contest.

 

I won.

 

It's all in the mind folks.

 

Whatever works.
