Ah, steroids.  What changes a few grams can make.

Double vision is a pain.  Now my double vision is only at a distance.  I had difficulty typing my little blogs guessing what I was putting on screen.  But my vision is improving.  Laptop distance is now as it was before (single) and at a distance, the television now is getting normal.

Walking?

I have a few things to help me walk.

1.  Legs (with right leg drop)

2.  Cane

      A.  Single prong

      B.  Quad prong (most used)

      C.  Single prong with saber in sheathe (Special for family)

3.  Walker

     A.  Fixed 4 on the floor

     B.  Wheels  2 on floor

4. Wheelchair

I avoid use of the wheelchair at all efforts.  The wheelchair may be a reality of the future.  But I will fight against using it at all costs.  I used the wheelchair at rehab and got very used to using it.  How it works and the daily challenges.

But, if I start using it, we will have to renovate our home and other problems too difficult to discuss.

The wheeled walker has been the most used since rehab.  It works and gives support.  Okay, so it is what it is.  But has to be used.

The cane has been retired the last few weeks as my condition had gotten worse. I was used to it.  Embarrassed, but not the four prong gave the support I needed.

Then last night I wanted cookies. 

I walked into the kitchen using the walker and "cruised" to the cookies in the microwave.

And I did not use the kitchen counters.  Arms by sides.  I opened the microwave, got two cookies and walked to the walker. 

I stared at the distance from the kitchen to my recliner. 

25 feet.  Cane was by the recliner.  Use the walker and I might make spew crumbs. 

So I walked.  Smoothly.  No grabbing of walls.  No footdrag. 

God Bless Steroids.

This morning I am back on the cane.  I will practice walking without aids. 

The last time I felt this good about walking was three months ago before Gilenya got into my system.  But now I hope to be rid of that chemical invader.

Thank you for reading this today.  I just feeler better and am very happy that my fingers are back to a high level of funtionality.

Just feels good to feel better.

And I am thankful.

God Bless All of Us.

Fight for Improvements and Fight for the Cure.
