Great post Lenny. You are one of the great encouragers on this site. I hope all the newbie survivors read what you write and are encouraged by it. Keep up the good work.

My goal is to one day be walking again no matter how slow but without a cane then I can use my hand to carry things since the other hand I can't use real good!! That's my new goal and when I drive to McDonald's before ten am for a McGriddle sandwich and coffee to bring back home I spill my coffee every time trying to hold it and my cane in my right hand!!

I do OK carrying the bag alone in my left hand but if I put the cup of coffee in the bag too I still spill it, the bag gets wet and I drop them both in my left hand!!
