Knelt

A little bit ago, I knelt on the carpet in the bedroom, and then stood up. A minute later I did it again. And five minutes afterward, again...though I did stagger, the last time. At no time -- well, except the third, at the very end -- did I lean on anything.

This is a moderately big deal. I have not been able to do that - get up from floor level without leaning on something - since last December, when I broke my hip. This afternoon, I thought Dammit, I'm going to try...again.

And this time, I did.
