I know exactly what youā€™re talking about. Thatā€™s what theyā€™re saying about my not being able to walk. By brain and legs have to learn to listen to each other again. Theyā€™ve known each other for almost 69 years but after surgery they have forgotten each other. After the first surgery that failed they were still acquitted but after the second they are strangers. Just doesnā€™t make sense to me but who am I ????

Hi my dear friendā€”

My brain wonā€™t connect with my body

If I donā€™t look at my feet.. I am on the ground

I canā€™t even explain it

The PT doctor maybe heard me yesterday?

Enough of me...ā€™

How are you?

Iā€™m getting there. Dr said Friday that X-rays were good everything was where it should be. Gave me the choice of going back to rehab or doing home therapy. Of course I chose home. He agreed becAce of mentally I was better not lying in bed staring out the window 23 hrs a day. SoIā€™m enjoying every minute of my freedom . He said between ms and surgery it would just take time. Started home pt it this week and have been exercising and walking on my high arm walker as much in a day of each of them as I did in 3weeks of rehab. My pt is coming this morning to walk some more. Ot showed us a tub mounted transfer seat on Amazon to get from walker to shower seat and it is coming Friday to help me use it and get a long awaited long hot shower. So Iā€™m just trying to be positive and keep working and believing. Still got plenty of pain but my pain management actually let me keep my 30 mg oxy so I at least have a little something to help. Surgeon said between surgery and ms nerve pain it was just taking awhile for all the nerves to repair.

So like youā€™ve been Iā€™m just still waiting .

I sure hope you get some answers on your problems because the waiting for months can be extremely frustrating. Let me know when you get some answers.

God bless

Just finished with home health care....

It is hard to do

To say I canā€™t

Yeah itā€™s very had to do.

This is my 4 th disectomy and spinal fusion but itā€™s the first time Iā€™ve ever not been able to walk. But like dr said itā€™s the first since I had MS.

I just finished pt myself so Iā€™m wore out.

Itā€™s a different feeling to say you canā€™t do things that youā€™ve always done. Like having to have occupational therapist come Friday to get me in the shower. But I lost all modesty in rehab on the bed pans. Thatā€™s when you want to give up. That was the first time in 68 years that anybody but my parents had to wipe my butt. I havenā€™t been able to get to the toilet since August 20th and still canā€™t. But Iā€™m looking forward to the day I can.šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜.

Thatā€™s my last fall I was going but my right foot didnā€™t get message šŸ˜” Down I went hard. People donā€™t understand that for twenty seven years I have to tell my right foot to move subconsciously all the time, when I get tired šŸ˜“ or forget down I go. Prayers are with you and hope things get better šŸ™šŸ¤—šŸ˜‰šŸ‘ Ken šŸ¾šŸ¾

Well. were do I start? I'm not going šŸ” anytime soon until I have a seizure! So I'm gonna try giving "them" what they want

I quit taking 1000mg of Tylenol -every 6 hrs & 600mg of Motrin- every 8hrs , so I'm bound to have PAIN. Plus , I had my nurse šŸš¶ back&forth on the hard floor- so " wish" me luck( on having a seizure!) Then , maybe, I'll get the DESPERATELY needed pain medication I need...!!##%@&!
