Standing by myself with no aids!

Unless you've been through the neurological hell that I've been dealing with for the last year,  you have no idea what a big deal this is.   It's such a big deal that I had DH take some photos since today is a nice day and all the clouds are gone.   I even slipped these ballet flat shoes on my feet without using my hands!    That means the nerves and muscles in my feet are improving.   When going out, I still use a cane to keep from tripping and hurting myself,  but this is progress!

 Proudly standing by myself!

The temps are low 70's here so I put on these tencel Loes Hinse European pants and a silk jersey tank made from her Tank Dress and Tops pattern and a light sweater by Vera Wang for Kohl's that I bought last summer.    Vera is so creative, and I enjoy many of her Kohl's pieces that have the design moxie of her high end lines at affordable prices.   This is is a printed cotton/rayon knit with a couple of cotton batiste ruffles left raw around the neck, a sweater that doubles as an accessory.

  8. Great news - and you look fabulous in your outfit. I loved seeing the fabs you'd picked for LC's new jacket. Of course I want the pattern but I'm waaaay behind in my sewing. Keep up the progress.
