Sorry... I haven't been on the pc much lately.
I really don't have any changes to report. I am still trying to stretch the muscles in my legs and feet and keep them moving. It is still very painful in my right foot. I stand a bit each day, several times, to try to keep strength in them and hopefully get my legs stronger. I stand from a wheel chair to a walker. Yesterday I started carefully standing up without holding onto the walker just to see if I could. I succeeded, so I guess that is a new improvement. It is still for only a few seconds and up to a minute sometimes and I am very wobbly but still.... I am standing. That is always a plus for me. It shows me I WILL be able to take steps and I WILL walk at some point. I just have to keep it up and not stop trying. Other than that... things are about the same. I still have the numbness in my hands and feet, which is very annoying but I am learning to work with it and I still have a lot of back pain.
We are trying to wait to see if I qualify for any of the financial help programs before we make any other doctor appointments. Medical bills are outrageous and build up so fast. I'm just trying to not add to the mountain I already have, if I can avoid it. I will try to not wait so long to come back and let you know how things are going. This has just been one of those weeks.

I still appreciate any and all prayers. That is what gets me through each day.

lol WMDM
Not much changed here lately. I'm basically still standing some each day to try to get strength in my legs. I tried to take a step but before I could blink I was sitting right back in the wheel chair, so I'm thinking my legs are saying..."not yet"...lol I just have to give it time and be patient. That's the hard part. I can have all the patience in the world with other people but having it with myself is not so easy. I am learning to get around a little better, and that helps me as far as the time being. I don't like having to depend on other people to do things for me so that part is difficult for me too. There are some things I have no choice on for that.
Just keep me in your thoughts and prayers. There is nothing too big for God.
