This is exciting news. Being able to walk without the walker will open up so many possibilities. Walking is one of those things we take for granted until we cannot do it. And something we truly appreciate once we get it back. I wish you the best of luck when the surgery happens and a quick recovery. May it all be as good as you hope.

I enjoy your optimism in this post. It sounds like you have been through a lot, and still have some way to go before your dream is realized. Good luck with the surgery. You're lucky to have such a good friend and caretakers.

Thank you for continuing to share your story. I know the feeling of lungs have to work hard in order to breathe. Having a trust fund in place and good caregivers gives you the security you need. I like your ending with the specifics of what you plan to do after a successful surgery.

Well, this is good news, Jesse. September may seem like a long way away now, but it will be here before you know it! I know you have dreamed of walking and hiking and being active - fingers crossed!

I know you will keep us informed as to what is happening.

    Thanks, Pam for your encouraging review!
    September will be here before I know it that is for sure but I have plenty of time to prepare for it with exercises instructed by my physical therapist!
    I will keep all of you informed on my progress!
