It’s hard to write a post this week because nothing remotely near the excitement level of last week happened again. I’ve still been working hard, and that hard work paid off big time last week, but I’ve got to keep pushing along and waiting for more results.
I did have some great interactions with students, amazing conversations with friends near and far, and read a few delightful books. In many ways, this week was pretty routine. That’s kinda nice to be able to say – you know, that my life has so little fresh trauma that I can find a new routine. It’s still a little depressing on the flip side that the major limitations I still have are part of my routine. Part of my routine includes an alarm an hour before I get out of bed to take a muscle relaxant; part of my routine is having a way to treat and overcome muscle spasms. I still wouldn’t trade my life for the world, and I’m more than grateful for the function and friends that I have.
I’m also still really hopeful about that brief moment on my feet last week. It encourages me to think that there might be more moments on my feet like it ahead. I’m still not done improving, and I’m grateful for all your encouragements along the way. Hopefully next week we’ll see some new things that I can share. In the mean time, I’ll keep teaching and reading and having epic theological conversations with Jordy during her lunch break.
