Today was a good day

I am little wary of saying this, but today was a good day.  I've actually had 3 good days in a row.  A good day basically means I can walk better, I am less tired, and my speech is discernible.  My boss was kind enough to allow me to switch from 3 eight hour days to 4 six hour days.  I think it is making a difference.  Today I was home before 4.  I was able to lay down for an hour to rest, which made the rest of the evening so much better.  I am looking forward to more of these days to come.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  Hoping, maybe after over a year of waxing and waning,  I will have a long reprieve.
I have been walking so much better.  I don't even need the cane in my house at all.  I use it at work because I get tired and clumsy so better safe than sorry.  I can ride the recumbent stationary bike in my house for 7 whole minutes.  May not seem like much to you, but it's a huge milestone for me.
I did have a momentary lapse in memory.  I totally spaced a paper that was due.  Luckily for me, my instructor was kind enough to give me a reminder and allow me to complete the task.  I am going to have to figure out a way to ensure this does not happen again. I have been extremely forgetful lately.  I am or was pretty sharp and could remember just about everything, but lately I think I know something and it turns out to be all the way out in left field.  Will have to work on this.
But anyway " I gotta a feeling, tonights going to be a good night!!!!!
