Step by step walk the thousand mile road |
As many of the members know last year I was hospitalized with an infection of Clostridium difficile that very nearly killed me. A month-long stay in intensive care undergoing treatment for this infection caused serious wasting of my muscles. So much so that once I was discharged to the rehab facility I was incapable of even standing on my own. Fast forward four months, and today I undertook my first relatively long-distance walk without a walker. I use trekking poles to help with my balance but they don't really support any weight. I even managed a difficult decision to leave the walker at home so I did not have it to use as an emotional or psychological crutch. Instead I forced myself to take a somewhat risky walk using only my trekking poles. I cannot tell you how satisfying this experience has been. I've managed to take a step forward in my recovery, a step I feared would never come. To everyone here and in my non-digital life who helped me medically, monetarily, physically, or spiritually, I again give my deepest thanks.

Great job. CDiff nearly took my aunt 2 years ago. Keep pushing and knock out that rehab. For her its like it never even happened now. But that was a hell of a long road. For now enjoy the small victories, they will add up! __________________________ The entire reason for the Second Amendment is not for hunting, it’s not for target shooting … it’s there so that you and I can protect our homes and our children and and our families and our lives.
