Congrats!! That is fantastic. I definitely know what you mean about how fun and exciting those "mundane" activities can be. After spending months and months in a wheelchair I remember being terribly excited when I was able to reach into one of the upper cabinets in the kitchen and get myself a plate that was not left on the counter for me. Such a little thing...but so huge to me at the time. Same goes for he first time I was able to get in the car and drive after almost a year of not being able to.
I am SO happy to hear how well you are doing. Keep it up and keep us posted.
