Miracles Keep Happening

Frustration envelopes me completely. It seems, no matter how hard I try, I"m not making any progress. My muscles just don't seem to get stronger. I do the exercises over and over to no avail.
Then, yesterday, on the way back from OT, my OT tech stops and tells me to try to walk from a spot in the hall to my room..maybe, 50 ft. away. I'm always up for a challenge even when frustrated from no gains. Surprisingly, I walked the total distance without my knee buckling.

This must have brought me more energy, because then when the PT Tech showed up  -- we walked 350 ft. without my knee buckling!

Today, I walked 600 ft. and Joe said I was almost walking like a normal person!

This is a big day for me - walking and being able to do the exercises after, I never would have thought such progress could be made overnight.

Miracles still do happen!
