Wow, am I proud of you, but more importantly, I hope you are proud of yourself. You are making serious progress here.
When something goes on this long the road to doing better is so hard. Many people don't understand that things will hurt MORE, probably, during this trying to get better stage. I know this after surgeries and muscle pain and also vein issues that can make my legs extremely touchy--what's disappointing is that the medical professionals can't figure this out. Too many of them have never recovered from anything themselves? They have no curiosity to ask other patients how they are feeling or recovering? I don't get it.
Either way just keep going, one day at a time. You and Sophie are awesome. Good luck with the virtual appt. coming up.
