General Discussion

In 2012, I had two back surgeries, a week apart, one to correct a blown disc, the other to cut away the osteomyelitis the doctor discovered that had grabbed a hold of my spine and blown my disc. Fun year! Once I was able to start getting up out of bed I had to learn how to walk all over again. It was a strange experience. I learned why those aluminum walkers with the two wheels in the front are still around. If I had had a walker with the four wheels and the brakes I am sure that walker would have been uncontrollable in my shaky state. As it was, I ended up on the floor a couple of times, when my knees gave out on me, but the old fashioned walker stopped me from what could have been a disaster.

You can do this!! Keep pushing forward! Try to accomplish something new everyday. 6 months from now you will wonder how you did it! Best of luck to you!
