Hey everyone sorry for the delay in posting. Well a few new things have happened since the last post most of them happening on Tuesday. In physio after the normal workout I started to work on standing up on to and off of a small box. After getting the hang of that I was able to use a small staircase they have built to practice climbing stairs. The steps are only a few inches high but I'm really happy with the accomplishment. Makes the prospect of getting around our house a lot easier. Then on Tuesday afternoon I was able to go into the swimming pool. It was fun to be able to walk with no support. My balance and strength to move my legs was still quite poor But when you lose your balance you only fall till your swimming. They gave me a few other exercises I could do that take advantage of the buoyancy of the pool. The pool is kept very warm which I hold responsible for me sleeping for the rest of the afternoon. Today I went back to VGH to see a specialist which was a big waste of time because all he did was book me to get a test taken in early November and then I came back to GF. In regards to the pain the doctors have started me on a new drug. I have taken it for two days now with little result. I am however on a very low dose of it so there is still potential if they see fit to raise the dosage. Thats about all the news on my end.

Your progress continues to amaze me Robert. Thank God for his grace and strength. It really sounds like your getting comfortable with the walking stuff again, so i think you should take it up a notch and maybe try a fake spill. Just kidding. Seriously though i wonder what kind of reaction you would get out of your physio therapist, if that's what their called. Anyways, keep up the good work man. My continued prayers are with you.

I can only imagine what struggle it must be, with the constant pain and baby steps, to carry on each day. Be assured Robert that you are truly an inspiration to me and many others. My continued prayer will be that this pain issue will somehow be identified and resolved.
Prayerfully

Hi Robert, it's Larry K. You have quite a sense of humor! I liked that comment about that's all the news on "your end". Well it tickeled my funny bone. Lafter is good medicine! I pray the docs can get to the "bottom" of your pain!!!

It's exciting to hear of your progress and new freedoms. We'll keep praying for the pain situation. Good to see you for a bit last week. God Bless!
