It will be 8 years on January 15th 2012, since the stroke put me on a cane and a scooter in 2004. My in home health provider is trying her best to help me walk again with no support. It's working and I'm working at it daily in several ways. I'm working with different machines at the senior center to gain strength in the weak leg. Then at home I got things I work with to help even more assisted by my health provider three days a week.
I hope to be more consistent by year's end. Already I gave up my quad cane. I got a light weight single point with a loop to fit the wrist in case I want to shake hands when I meet someone wanting to stop and talk a minute or two. I probably could have started this process much sooner but no one pushed me to start and I never tried myself. Now walking in leather bottom shoes on Sunday makes a difference. I put on my regular tennis shoes after church and I'm back in the groove.
I would love to tell you all in a few more months that I'm walking unassisted. My wife has her bank Christmas party the first or second week of December so I hope to get out on the dance floor and show out. :happydance:. She's not going to want me to go but I'm going anyway...Husbands Rule, right?
Fred! :oohlala:
