Molly – What were the important milestones in rehabilitation?

Learning transfers was a huge milestone.  Being able to get in and out of bed by myself, that gave me a lot more flexibility.  Especially in terms of putting myself to bed at night; that meant that I could stay out later with my friends, or stay up later doing homework, things like that.  Driving was a huge milestone.  It was really nice to being able to just go where I wanted, when I wanted, and not have to be chauffeured around.  And, self-cathing was huge.  That gave me way more independence.  That allowed me to be away from my mom for more than just a couple hours at a time.  I think really the biggest milestones for me were the ones that gave me more independence.  Those were the most important things.
