Had a really good day physically

Tweet

I've been dealing with neuropathy and balance issues for over 2 years now. It has gotten progressively worse to the point where I couldn't use the staircases at work to go down to the 1st floor. I was afraid that I was going to fall. I asked for a classroom change to downstairs. That made life easier. For some reason the new building principal moved me back up to the 2nd floor this year. I'm okay with it because it is a friendly happy environment and 2 of the people across from me are good friends of mine. The whole vibe in that wing is perfect for me. I have a study hall as duty so I don't have to go back downstairs until the end of the day. It is great not to have to deal with so much stress. Many days lately have been rough in terms of walking, doing steps, and basically just getting around. Yesterday was so bad that I started thinking about disability and not being able to drive. (I always catastrophize) Today I was cruising around the building, doing steps like a normal person, and I didn't need to hold onto things just to walk around the room. Yes I had pain in my feet but I was still able to get around without feeling like I need a cane. I still didn't do a straight line as I walked around but hey I was able to easily walk around! There is no rhyme or reason for the difference in days (that I have determined yet) so I don't know what I should be replicating. I'm heartened though because today showed that I can have almost-normal days.
