Thanks, Rachel. I'm not completely sure why/how I'm up and out of my wheelchair. I have multiple conditions in addition to peripheral neuropathy. I think having doctors who listen to me and treat my conditions with new/different medications and procedures, as well as my daily swimming in warm weather and daily yoga are what led me to being able to use my walker.
I started with walking leaning on my wheelchair as much as possible, which wasn't much at all at first, and then finally decided to go out to a doctor's appointment with my walker. It was terrifying, but I guess I was feeling feisty lol. The scariest part is that the top half of my feet are very numb, and my left foot kind of drags sometimes, but I was still able to do it. I get a lot of pain when I get home and the next few days, but I just keep doing my home pain management and get on with it.
If this doesn't last very long, I'm okay with it. I'll remember it like I remember the first time a few years ago when I did a half hour of laps in the pool using just my arms. It was amazing. Felt like Senior Superwoman lol.

Best wishes to all for victories large and small.
