So Bill, how are you doing. Improving with the therapy I hope. How about you flash? How's the back treating you these days?

It's a bitc* getting old, I should know. Hope you guys are doing better and can get back to doing what you enjoy.

I'm progressing...thanks for asking Hank.
Just today I was able to switch from a leg brace to a knee cage...my ankle now has enough movement and range of motion that the full support of the leg brace is no longer needed.
The knee cage prevents the knee from hyper-extending backwards due to a weak hamstring. We're working in therapy to strengthen that area.
I walk with a cane...haven't used my wheelchair in weeks. I now can climb stairs.
A little movement in my shoulder and thumb & index finger now...nothing much yet in the elbow or wrist...therapy focusing on that too.
I take a driving aptitude test on Friday that no doubt I'll pass...finally will be able to drive my truck but sadly not the manual trans Chevelle...the stroke happened two months ago yesterday.
Doing four 1hr therapy sessions per week...greatly helping in my full recovery!!

Glad you're improving Bill. As I said, hope you get back to your old self and drive the Chevelle and all the other things you enjoy.

Glad to hear the update Bill ,cant wait to see you shifting gears in the Chevelle soon.

Hank ,I am doing well ,back at work full time but still on light duty ,cant lift more than 25 pounds .But the best part is NO BACK PAIN like before .

Great to hear John about the lack of back pain...finally!!!
Got your and Joan's card in the mail today...thank you very much for the continued support.

That's great John, glad to hear it.

Bill ,not a day goes by without Joan and I talking about you and Anne ,how good of people you guys are ,we are thankful to have you guys as friends .

Bill so glad to hear that things are getting better. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Hey Bill ,how you doing by now ,back to Therapy I hope ?

Thanks for asking John
I start back in therapy next month...saw my doc this week and she's pleased with my progress so far and has written an order for 10 more PT/OT sessions.
I'm walking pretty good but carefully and have some arm/wrist/hand movement now which they'll work on to improve.
