Milestones.
They're not just for kids.
I had one tonight: I took a bath!
Four years after my initial back injury and all I could manage safely and comfortably were showers. Meh. Sure, some of that (most of it?) was fear, but the mechanics of getting in and out of a tub, even lying there in the water, are tricky for someone with back/pelvis/tailbone issues.
But tonight, after weeks of experimenting with getting up and down off the ground/floor (most notably during our reading picnics or stargazing), I figured what the hell and so I did it.
Yep, nice hot luxurious reclining bath!
No problems.
CELEBRATE!
Who would have thunk that taking a bath would be cause for celebration? Yay for you!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Funny, I took a bath yesterday for the first time in 7 years. I used to all the time but when we moved to our current home I stopped. But this week has been so stressful for me I thought a hot relaxing bath might help. And it did!
