Better, Better, Better


I’m getting better all the time! From bedridden to wheelchair to walker to crutches to cane. And now I can walk without assistance! Well, more of a waddle really. And I still need the walker occasionally.
I’m one of the lucky ones. The one in three who get better after being paralyzed with transverse myelitis. Many remain paraplegic or quadriplegic. Most spend their lives in wheelchairs. I thank all my friends and family for their prayers. And I thank my Higher Power for blessing me. I thank my lucky stars, too.
I’m getting stronger thanks to physical therapy and Project Walk (projectwalk.org). I work hard exercising and stretching every day (almost). I push myself to extend my limits. I plan to keep getting better until I’m the best I can be!
