        Allison,

        God I remember those early days so well. The first walk ugh! My pt person didn't put one of those belts around me to help me walk...what a nice idea. I was all on my own...walker with me of course. Looks like you did a great job and had great results! Good luck with your continuing recovery:O)

            Haha! It has that effect on me too, but I find I am gruesomely, morbidly fascinated! Ah, the memories.
