I invite you all to share your lists of the things you can't wait to do as you recover.

I can't wait till ...

I can sleep all night without getting up to go to the bathroom.

I can walk without a walker.

I can cross my right leg over my left.

I can get up from a seated position easily and without holding on.

I can get up from lying down without pulling myself up with my arms.

I can drive all the way to work without pain in my leg.

I can lift up my left leg as high as my right.

Good thread Monica
Like you I can't wait to sleep.....without taking stuff to get me there and then sleeping 10-12 hours.

can't wait to ski......something I love to do w/ my kids who are now 13 & 18

can't wait to ride my horse.....it's too much work and I'm too weak [Frown]

can't wait to be able to do everything in a day that I used to be able to do...or at least half of it.....too many naps!!!

can't wait to go back to work and feel like a productive human bean [Big Grin]

can't wait to NOT experience vertigo all the time.

can't wait to NOT have my knees going out and

can't wait to be able to speak without forgetting WHAT I was talking about or forgetting the NAMES OF THINGS...

....it could be a long list......but it helps to vent...... [Mad]

I've come a long way, I can now walk without holding on to something. I got my reading level back. I can bang a hammer for a half hour straight on a good day. I can pack up, drive several hours and visit friends for several days- friends who don't push me into over extending that is...

But I can hardly wait till I can hammer for several hours without resting or being bedridden for a day or 3.

I can hardly wait till I can walk more than a block without being in bad pain.

I can hardly wait till I feel well enough to consider a relationship without infecting someone.

I can hardly wait till I can ride a horse again.

and I can hardly wait till I feel well enough that it's predictable each day and I can commit to doing anything.

I would like to say I can hardly wait till I can paint canvases again, but it's been so long I don't even want to think about it.

1. I can't wait until I don't have to use a walking stick.

2. I am looking forward to hiking to a waterfall.

3. I will be happy when I can go to a restaurant, movie, or noisy place and not have seizures.

4. I look forward to time off work starting in 2 weeks and then look forward to being healthy enough to work fulltime and do my job without fatigue.

5. I look forward to reading the posts from all of you that say you are well! Hiker
