So, today saw three major milestones!
I finally made it up to the second floor of the house (with a little help and a small rest halfway up), and because of that, I finally got to take a shower in my own home instead of going all the way out to the base. This doesn't mean that I can move back into my bedroom just yet, but it does mean that we're getting close to that point.
I'm also borrowing a cane to try out for short distances and stairs. So, now I have pretty much the entire spectrum of mobility aids at my disposal: an electric wheelchair (for going out on my own), a manual wheelchair (for going out with someone else who's driving), a four-wheeled walker (for around houses), and a cane. Hopefully we'll be able to eliminate the need for at least one or two of those soon, but only time will tell. In the meantime, I'm set for everything from stepping out to get the mail to going across town (and beyond!).
