High Rosemary, just wanted to give an update on me I passed my transplant exam on the first with my transplant team post accident and I got my gallbladder tube removed did not get to see the trauma surgeons on the first as they were in class for the new epic computer program that Rochester has installed it's the same system we have here in Eau Claire wi. So will seem them when I go on the 30th of this month to have my IVC filter removed and I hope they say yes to getting my stomach fixed those are the last 2 things that I need fixed. Now for the big news got the last of the braces off my feet today And I stood for the very first time on both my legs And the next big thing I did today was I WALKED 28 feet in my room with aalker on my own to legs and feet plus I pivoted with the waliker I did really good for my first time and day since my accident. I'm so proud of my self

Thank you me to I was starting to get frustrated but today made my day now it won't be long before I can go home I plan on being home by the middle of june
@glinda Mid-June sounds like a great time to be back home. You have worked hard on your recovery - I'm glad that you have been encouraged by the results of that hard work.
Teresa
Thanks Teresa it's been a hard 3 months but I'm glad to be walking even with a walker it helps my knees aren't quite strong enough just yet but they are getting stronger every day they also don't want to bend as far as they should but working on that also I walked 91 feet today with the walker in physical therapy
@glinda Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! We knew you would do it! You are one tough lady:-) Rosemary
Thanks Rosemary, for awhile there I didn't think I would walk again but it feels so good to be able to do it
And keep on walking it maybe with help from the staff and physical and occupational therapy but I'm walking and that's all that matters to me it's a little painful but I can handle it my knees don't want to bend all the way yet but that's ok I'm walking and that's all that matters I will be home by the middle of June if not before
@glinda ...you go girl!
@parus, I grew up in Ohio, and married into Kentucky. We like being near to the mountains and forests in both Ky and TN.
