goals

In order for Cosima to make her goal of being home for Christmas she has been told she needs to be able to accomplish the following 2 items:
1. Be able to climb stairs.
2. Get in and out of a step in shower all on her own.

She is focused on working towards being able to do both of these in time for the holiday but they will both be challenging for her.

On Weds before Thanksgiving she overdid it by quite a bit and paid the price with a very sore body the last few days. This is very typical in the recovery process and most everyone who is recovering from a major injury or surgery will do this at least once in their efforts to get their strength back. She was feeling a bit better by Sunday evening but was still just a bit sore.

Physical therapy starts again Monday and she will be working towards climbing stairs and getting in and out of the shower.
