OH, the places I can reach now!

Made you look. I believe these are called NSV.

In the car:

I can pop the truck w/o having to open the door to reach the latch on the floor

I can reach down to pick something up off the floor w/o unbuckling my seatbelt

I can climb into the truck w/o my husband pushing me in (but that doesn't stop him for helping me - he likes the view) LOL

At home:

I can bend down to cut my own toenails w/o gasping for air after each toe

I can get up and down from the floor with more ease

I can dry my own back

I can touch the bottom of the washing machine drum when unloading

At work:

I can cross my legs under the desk

Everyday I can see progress.

I'm so happy. Have a GREAT day everyone!

That is great! I remember one day I was watching TV late one night, I looked down and my legs were crossed. I couldn't believe it. I haven't crossed my legs in over 10 years. I screamed for my husband. He came running in the room thinking something was wrong. I said look!!!! He high five me and laughed. It's the little things.
