Small improvements

Steve can 1) cross his legs without swinging for momentum first and 2) he can get off of the ground using only his legs and cane. Let me 'splain.
Have you ever seen the movie The Princess Bride? When Wesley had been mostly dead and the trio was getting ready to storm the castle, Wesley had to swing his shoulders to sling his hand up. That was what Steve had to do to cross his legs: swing for momentum.

Steve has been working on using his legs with control. He would go up the steps looking like a cross between a stiff-legged Frankenstein monster and the robot from the old Lost In Space show with wildly swinging arms. Steve has been worried about falling and being unable to get back up. The therapists have been helping but Steve continued to struggle. Today at therapy and twice at home, Steve was able to push up from the floor with his legs using the cane as a prop and for balance. It deserves applause.
