Stuff I Used To Do And Wonder If I'll Ever Do Again

For some reason I have been thinking a lot about shoes, specifically high heels.  I wonder when I will get to wear them again.  Lucky for me, I suppose, that I get InStyle magazine (Thanks Mom!), so I've seen many outfits and many, many new shoes.  I find most new shoes (you know the ones) to be, in a word, butt-ugly.  I was OK with "The Return of the Platforms", cutting out the toes, not so much.  I mention shoes because while I see plenty of other new things I'd like to have, shoes are not on the list, at least not new ones.  So that's one less thing to worry about missing.

Being able to see well enough to apply my own makeup or being able to cook would be good too.  Will I ever drive again?  More basic than driving?  How about will I ever ride my bike again?  Once that I was firmly convinced that rest and medication were not going to fix anything(about a year ago), I got to work proving (to myself, mostly) that nothing would help me but my brain's plasticity and a lot of daily exercise (also about 12 months ago).  Relying on myself to repair the damage is a little tiresome, but understandable.

I plan on increasing my Practice Walks and workouts, in number as well as in length and duration,which I increase every week anyway.  For some reason, deprivation and really hard physical labor make perfect sense to me.  Now, for instance,  I have worked too hard to let up now!  My hair just started to come back, too!  No, I don't need new shoes, what I need is a plan.
