Today I walked about 40 feet twice with a rest in between and one final round of about 20 feet before my right leg said enough. It was very tired and I couldn’t pick my foot up another step.  It seems that I am not putting as much weight on my walker or it is my imagination.  I am going to walk hear at the house for Dad to see if he can tell a difference. Jacinda gave me some exercises to help build my muscles up around my knees to help with the heperextending my knees.  I am doing the stand up set down without locking my right knee.

Next thing I will worry about is getting up out of a regular chair. Until I can walk any length of time, I don’t have to worry about that cause my power chair seat is farther from the floor than a regular chair!  One step at a time but after 3¹/² years I am still seeing and having improvements!

Well I am trying to get back walking again  but it is hard with a hyperextended right knee which makes me drag my foot. I am able to bend it a little more than I could.

I had to buy a new Swedish knee brace because I had lost enough weight that the large was just too big. I needed to lose the weight but I wasn’t expecting it to cost me $200 for new brace and $100 for platform attachments for my walker. Oh well price I’ll pay to hopefully walk again some day. My scales say I’ve lost 49 pounds. Hopefully I can continue.

I can only walk about 20 feet before I can’t pick foot up but I’m not putting as much weight on my walker. I did 4 rounds of 20 feet with a short rest in between!   It’s looking promising.  I have only did 6 sessions so far.

Keep your fingers crossed!
