terri,

That is amazing!!! When is your apt with your neuro guy? I'll bet he falls out of his chair when you walk for him!! That would be something to get on tape so you have his reaction to movitate you later when and if you get discouraged.

Let us know how many more you have done....You know the March of dimes is looking for a few good walkers to participate in their walk-a-thon...haha

xxoo keep up the amazing progress!!!

Thanks all, I have not taken more than 4 steps at one time but I can now make it all the way across the grab bar matt. 4 steps, stop for a second (so I don't fall down ) then off again! You should see my arms fly when I take the steps without holding on, I look like I am getting ready for take off. LOL

I went in for my fill on Tuesday this week and showed everyone there. My nurse started crying. My Dr. gave me a big hug. I had a pretty big crowd because I am the first bandster there and everyone wants to watch Dr. B do the fill. So there were plenty of congratulations going on.

I don't have a appt. with my Neuro yet because I don't have to see him but once a year. Maybe I will go see him just to show off!

Thank you all for your support! I don't think I could do this band thing with out you all. OK maybe I could but you make it easier!!!!!!!!!!!!!

((((((HUGS))))))))) to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
