Walking Man

Today, at Shaver, | managed to walk about
50 yards without supporting myself.

This is literally half the length of a football field
and towards the end, it really start to feel like
the walking | used to do.

Next week, I'm going to bring my cane
and see what | can do with that.

This is a hell of an adventure, and it really
knocks you out. But at the same time, every
step makes you feel a little more normal.

I'm still not sure if | will ever be able to just get
up and walk around like I used to. But at least,
right now, | know I can get a lot closer than |
thought | could even last week.

I Will Keep On Pushin’.
