I had one really awesome breakthrough! After we finished walking using the Walker they removed it and I was able to stand up on my own bearing all the weight through my legs which was a first.

I have learned a number of things these past three years.

 

1. Love > hate

2. Thinking positive > most medicines

3. Friendship > money

4. Failure > not trying at all

5. Living in the moment > worrying about the past or future

 

This journey has been incredibly humbling and has taught me what is important in life and what it means to be alive.

 

I am thankful to everyone who has supported me along the way and picked me up when I was down. You have given me so much love and I hope the next three years are just as fulfilling as these past three.

 

I will continue to post updates on my recovery and hope you will continue alongside me  on this journey.
