Today was a pretty exceptional day. My physical therapist, Lou, is always thinking. He is constantly coming up with new things to try. Today we really worked my upper body. Afterwards I felt some fatigue. This was good because I usually, I am not that tired.
I like it when I feel like I did something. Both Lou and Jill are exceptional…and when Paul is not trying to stick me up…he is exceptional too. Haha
I feel more and more (although sometimes small) strength returning to my legs. I will walk again!
Tomorrow I am going to be starting a diet to help me shed some pounds. I was all set to do the lap band but I am not able to because I am on blood thinners. They will do the by-pass…but that is a bit too permanent for me. My will is strong and I will post here each step of my progress.
I will not be able to post pounds lost…because it is not practical for me to weigh. However, I can tell you I have a starting weight of about 420lbs. Yeah I know! That’s why I have made up my mind. My goal is to hit 190lbs. This will not be easy and the journey will be long. But listen: My weight loss is not in spite of my recovery…but part of my recovery plan. I will walk again!
That’s about it for now. Thank you all for your thoughts and your prayers. I sure would like you to register and comment. This would be of great encouragement.
Take care,
Kevin
