I agree with your advice, Ray. Movement is very important. Like you, I was once able to walk greater distances. Now not so much. But I do try to walk every day and am now in physical therapy. My muscles have weakened so I am trying very hard to strengthen them. The wobbly leg feeling is very disconcerting. I also say that medicine can play an adverse role in this neuropathy challenge.

Good morning, arcuri24 (@arcuri24)

I have found strengthening my enfeebled leg muscles to be much more difficult than I had originally thought it would be. I'd gone darn near a full half-year with limited mobility: a hospital stay, followed by a rehab facility stay, followed by several months of at-home rehabbing (mostly recliner-bound). I thought once I was back on my feet and back into shoes (atop my orthotics), a couple of vigorous weeks on my stationary bike, plus leg-lifts and sit-to-stands, and presto! my legs would e back to full-strength. Fool that I was! I'm now 14, going on 15 months post-septic infection and my legs are still rubbery. But I keep at it (moving)! Despite how challenging this leg-rebuilding is proving to be, I still maintain it's our one and only return path to wholeness.

Have an enjoyable weekend!
