Today I took a shower standing up. To anyone reading this who had forgotten that I broke my leg a few months ago, showering standing up is a huge victory for me. And it felt oh-so-good.
There was still some pain with the added pressure to my leg, and I slipped around a bit, which had me questioning if I made the right decision. But I was careful, and I did it. It was bizarre in a way, bc I have been bathing sitting down for so many months now, that standing up made me feel like a giant. I felt tall and a bit awkward, but the water running down all over--no parts of me freezing or uncomfortable, felt so wonderful.
It's the little things that make all the difference, and trust me, I've been handed a deal in life where I do not take things for granted anymore. And that includes standing up in the shower.
