@rosemarya You make Kentucky sound like a very appealing place, very beautiful. I believe my parents went there for part of their honeymoon trip, I can remember my mother mentioning the "blue grass" of Kentucky. If we ever do a drive south maybe we will take a route that will bring us through Kentucky.

@parus, I grew up in Ohio, and married into Kentucky. We like being near to the mountains and forests in both Ky and TN.

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.

@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.
