Hot diggitey!  Today at physical therapy, I walked the length of the ~10' parallel bars 4 times, only touching the bars to turn around!  It sure weren't pretty - I was not what you could call steady on my feet at all - and I'm still stuck to my walker for a while yet; but hey - I'll take whatever positive things I can at this point.

Far f***ing out!!!!!   Any and all progress is good, it's all about moving forward.   

So, did you watch any of the NFL playoffs over the weekend?   I'm rooting for my 49ers to win their second straight Superbowl.   They really won last year.   I mean they were way ahead most of the game and then at the end, all of a sudden, a bunch of K.C. points appeared on the scoreboard!  I hear that a lot of people are wondering about that?

Bill, tgo

Peter- thanks for the Good News!  Keep on keeping on and things will get better.

 

Great to hear some good news Peter.  All the best.

I quit watching in the late '80s when the Bears started sucking again, but She still watches, so I saw them stink the Superdome up.

My dad called & asked if I'd heard the Steelers won; they found 14 points under the bleachers after the game.....

And, as always - thanks, all, for the good thoughts.

Peter-always great to hear more good news as you continue your healing process!

Good to hear!

Peter, that's Fantastic!!

Glad to see you in such good spirit, Peter.

Hey Peter, very happy to hear you are making some real progress!

Glad to hear of your progress. I also share your feeling on the Bears.I miss old Mayor Richard J. Daley as he certainly could have found a few extra points for the win.

Hey, Peter. Here's my repair. So far so good. Hope yours is good, too!

That looks about like what they took out to do this one (but a tad higher; L3-4).  It worked fine, too.  This one, the repair seems to have worked; the nerve damage & infection - not so much.  Glad yours is trouble-free, Peter.

On another track  - last Weds they did a biopsy of a nodule on my thyroid; today I got the word:  "Negative for malignancy".

Peter (who is once again breathing normally........)

Great, Peter.
