Meanwhile trust you're up for some humor.....
Woo hoo!!
Just got back from a great therapy session! The therapist allowed me to transfer completely on my own from my powerchair to the workout table and then after the workout, from the table back to the chair. Completely on my own! Woo hoo!! Can do it. God willing, after some practice, will have my independence back!! Praise God!!
May not sound like much, but this is a big deal for me. I’ve been so worried that I might lose my independence. Feel a lot better now. Thank you all very much for your prayers and support. God bless.
You go ahead and kick that ass, boss.
Boo and Yah, the both.
GREAT NEWS, Jim!!!
Prayers continue.
You’re a hunk, dearest Jim. A true fighter and also the very best! God bless you, I’m so happy and have just read your wonderful words aloud to DrO! He says “you’re amazing! That you are doing unbelievably remarkable in such a short time! He add his continued prayers for you!”
WOW, ((((Jim)))), WOW!
Sounds like a big deal to me considering where you are coming from just days ago.
Tough guy and proving it each day.
Wonderful news! Keep strong! Will keep praying!
Meanwhile trust you're up for some humor.....
WOW!!!!
That is wonderful news, Jim. It will be great to come to visit you at home!
That is such awesome news! Being independent is a very BIG thing!! :)
Fantastic news, Jim!
While spending 7 days with you, I was daily amazed at your progress which was much more than expected for your situation.
When you first got back on your powerchair with out the balance abilities of your right leg (which was all it could do at that stage) I was amazed at how quickly you could balance yourself without that “crutch.”
We had put your transfer belt around your chest just in case, but in a few minutes later we realized you didn’t need it as you were balancing so well.
Your healing and recovering processes are moving along exponentially (wow didn’t need spell check to laugh at me on that word cool) probably because of your fierce desire (and abilities) for independence.
(Plus your extreme grasp and display of patience in all situations of your life has always impressed me.)
A couple of days in the hospital then on to the recovery facility...Astounding!
Good to see you with your energy looking like it is at it’s peek, and being able to rest so much more comfortably with out that pesky toe shooting pain through you.
I remember when a mutual friend talked about a relative whose toes were falling off because of diabetes you saying I wish mine would (because of the extreme pain.)
An interesting fact about you that I noticed is your lack of complaining about any situation that comes your way.
When I noticed several months ago you started saying occasionally a simple low key “ow,” I thought to myself, man the must REALLY hurt!
In the same situation I do believe I would have said a lot more than a simple quiet “ow.” Your expression was the perfect exclamation of the word from the dictionary “used to express sudden pain.”
You are absolutely amazing Jim and I am continuing to pray for you continuing expedient recovery and healing!
All of Freeperdom is extremely proud of you.
God bless you, American Patriot par excellence!
We will keep praying for you without a doubt! We will have you roller skating soon!
That is great news and it is a big deal. Your determination and your persistence is an inspiration to us all. Thank you for letting us know.
Thank You God for hearing our prayers!
Jim,
My heart broke for you and your happiness...then I realized it was not broken, it was bursting with happiness for you and the independence we all treasure.
Keep up the good work...we all love you!
Great news!
“Can do”. That’s the spirit. Great news!
h !!Go Jim!!
Sounds huge. Impressive.
Of course, it’s a big deal, JimRob—and I am so thrilled for you. You know, I’ve always heard that ya can’t keep a good man down—and you are sure bearing that out!
Praises be to God!
I am really happy to hear that all is going well for you and you are still able to keep your independence. I am adding your therapist to my prayer list!
Looking forward to seeing you and your wonderful family at the next TCMS.
