Progress report...

with all the things going on the last couple of weeks here...

I am still feeling better than I have in a long time...

I have never asked God to step in and remove what I have before...

I feel really guilty asking for anything for myself...

but the last part of last year I began to ask for me...

HIS SPIRIT has been leading me in directions that are  helping...

we began physical therapy here at home in November...

after 2 months, I can now stand without pain...

the guys have been working on me twice a day and today was my first day of doing it three times...

we began on the lower back and legs...

and I began working slowly...

very slowly on the upper back, neck and arm area the first of the month...

it's been over a year since I felt this good...

and with what I have...

my muscles would not retain tone...

every day I would wake up the same and have to work through it...

only to lose it all by the next morning...

I am retaining tone!

I haven't done that in 10 years...

so, thank  you for all of your prayers...

I know they are a big part of this...

and I want to thank GOD for allowing this to happen...

I can stand now to take a quick shower, but only use the stool if I am going to be in there longer if wash my hair...

I can stand and cook and wash dishes without the kitchen stool...

by spring...

I want to able to walk the yard without the chair...

I will still use it for longer walks until I get stronger...

and I know this is going to take a long time...

and I would like to be 100%...

but if this is it...

it's better than where I have been...

and I am so grateful...
