I took some steps on my own!

Whoo Hoo, Whoo Hoo. I took about 5 steps on my own. Due to my multiple sclerosis I have to walk with crutches. Since surgery I've lost 73 pounds and I took about 5 steps on my own without my crutches! I looked and felt like a toddler learning to walk. I was very unbalanced and held my arms out reaching for something to hang on to but I DID IT! It was quite comical to see me trying but I did it. I haven't been able to walk without crutches for two years now. It will be a LONG time before I'll be able to move away from furniture or walls but these baby steps are certainly a start. Melody

I am so happy for your Melody!! Every day I check this forum to see if someone posted -- usually nothing. And to see your post has brought tears to my eyes!! What a wonderful feeling for you!!! Love in Him, Gala

Thats wonderful!!! -Sherrie

Oh, Melody!!! I am so happy for you!!! There are no words for the joy that something like that brings! I imagine that is soooo much more exciting than when I stopped using my cane. So I can only begin to understand how exciting that is. Keep up the the good progress! Celebration time for you!!! Grins, (More than usual this time!) Kaye

Wow, Melody, I find I have fun surprises come up with each little amount I lose, but THAT is indeed a WONDERFUL benefit, I hope your health continues to get better and better!!!~~((((HUGS)))~~Rebecca

Wow Melody, what a wonderful experience to share with us!! Do you think that if you got some physical therapy your progress would be enhanced? They might be able to assist you in this wonderful change... Blessings to you. Tracey
