I showered today without assistance!

[eightangryreindeer]

FIST PUMP

Having control over my cleanliness again is really awesome. I hate being smelly.

If I leave my boot on I can get into the tub and sit on my lawn chair and then take it off.

I was nervous, but it felt much the same as when I finally just said fuckit in London and just got into the car and drove it.

It's the little things, isn't it?

[-Moe-]

YAAAAY!!

[eightangryreindeer]

It really is the little things. Not to be a cliche but I really hope that I can keep this stuff with me for those frazzling days.

Like I'm trying not to moan too much about being bored, because I know in like a year I will DIE for six weeks with nothing to do but sit on my ass and nest and read and watch tv.

We underestimate how good it is to be feeling ok and somewhat normal.

Yay for unassisted showers!

[MWOS]

You have handled this with remarkable grace and humor. Stop making me look bad!!!!!

Big, clean hugs to you, my showered friend!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Well that's AWESOME! Be careful, or at least, try to shower while I'm at school so I can be the Aiden to your Miranda, ok?

Much of that is down to your advice and support, mi'lady.

Dude, I remember getting up after surgery was orgasmic. ORGASMIC.

You feel like you're NEVER going to be able to brush your hair, and then whoop whoop, you can.

The body is a phenomenal thing. You got this!

You mean because you're not a soldier? That's what you meant, right?

And congrats on you re-found cleanliness freedom!

YAYYY for unassisted showers! Thank you for not smelling up the interwebz today!

[karmasabiotch]

That is great news. It's amazing how you take showers for granted until you need help. I'm so happy for you.

[WOT?*]

Bathing and showering more than a sitz bath or sponging is the best form of excellence.

Yay! This is a big step!
