I became paralyzed sept 30 of 05. diagnosed the spring of 06. went back to work jan of 06 in a wheelchair, went to a walker then an cane. can walk not somewhat, not good on inclines and down hill. I have 2 grown daughters and 5 granddaugthers. I am still working full time, would like to cut back that some. I go to the gym 3 times a week to walk and do weights, then twice a week I do pilaties. some weeks i don't get there that many time, but I really try. I try to stay upbeat and thank god for what I have and can do.
