For 277 straight nights, I have had to sleep with my feet elevated. I have tried to ween myself off from it many times before. I never last more than 30 minutes because I feel the blood pooling in my legs and feet and they start to ache. Last night, I MADE IT THROUGH THE WHOLE NIGHT!!!! When I woke up, I was sleeping on my stomach, something I haven't been able to do in close to a year. I'm so thrilled that elevating my feet will be a choice from here on out, not a necessity.

Walk
Distance: 3.35 miles
Average Speed: 3.06 mph
Duration: 01:05:33
When I returned from my walk, I went through my full at-home PT routine. With the scheduling issues, this has been my first week without PT for the last several months. As much as I still need to go to therapy, I am not going to lie, I enjoyed my week off. I had so much more time on my hands and a fleeting sense of freedom.

Reflection
Progress! I am making more progress! So happy to be feeling some sense of normalcy return to my life.
