It sounds like you working out is paying off, Jesse. :) Don't let that shine you gain be forgotten and keep on doing it. Walks as much as you can and write every day whenever you get an inspiration. That care and Merry Christmas. Thanks for sharing.

What an excellent attitude. I will have to show this to my brother in law, he is wheelchair bound and cannot walk with out a walker and very minimal at that. I feel that the radiating feeling you experience is the Holy Spirit, and your superb attitude.

You're doing great, Jesse! Thank you for reminding us of the blessing of being able to walk! And I appreciate the reminder to keep drinking more fluids. I just got another glass of water.
Looking forward to how God will answer our prayers for your successful surgery and your walking freely again!!

Jesse, This is a very nice and well written post that is so full of hope and happiness for what lies ahead for you. It is great to have that type of mindset.

I really enjoyed reading this post. It inspired me and brought a smile to my face. You are doing all the right things to stay motivated and hopeful. I remain seated most of the day because of my back, but I try to stand and walk once every hour using a walker. Yes, it does feel good. POWER to the people who appreciate the ability to walk. I wish you continued strength and hope for a bright future.

    Thank you for this encouraging review. I can relate to sitting for an hour and needing to get up and stretch for a minute or two.
    I love the mantra Power to the people who appreciate the ability to walk. I need a bumper sticker that says exactly that. Although I don't have a car anymore what the heck. Thanks for your good wishes for continued strength and hope for a brighter future.
    Jesse

It does seem that we is writers as we go out and we walk our muse becomes very excited and gives us a lot of different things to write about. I enjoyed your writing here. I wish you the very best and I hope that you will have the day where you can be free at the wheelchair in the walker and be free to walk wherever you want to go. Patricia.

I'm so happy for to our, Jesse!! I am not walking right now, myself. I pull myself around. I have something very heavy in my abdomin that started small and is getting heavier. I have tests on the 27. After that we'll see. I'll need therapy for my strength and balance but I can't try that yet. All I feel is terrified when I try to get anywhere eveb a few steps. I'm so bad right now. I'm always screaming for help when i fall because I think I can do some things but I can't.

What you wrote is so motivating to me, you have no idea. O get sad thinking I'll never walk jump run etc again. I never felt like this before because MS used to blind me. This walking stuff is from an accident in 2018 a car hit my passenger side went th ft ough a light. Due to covix I stopped going to PT and over 4 years here I am. I will be uplifted and in a tired by your progress my friend. I actually cry every day. Please keep writing your inspiring progress. It will help me see a better future too. I'm a mess. :(

Keep getting stronger,

Alex :)

    Thanks, Alex, for your six stars and for sharing your story with me.
    I feel my heart overflow with sadness as I think of you pulling yourself around unable to walk due to MS. Then, a car accident added to your misery and here you are today still trying to work on walking.
    You inspire me, my friend! Let's both work together on trying to strengthen our bodies and keep attempting to walk.
    If I can do it, so can you!
    Take good care of yourself and don't let the difficulty of walking get you down.
    Your friend,
    Jesse

    Jesse,

    Thank you, friend! That's why I told you, so we can encourage each other. I have days when.i get very sad. It's mostly from the car accident then the heavy thing in my middle ;( That's something I'll know about soon. It really stinks to feel like this and my husband is good, really doing everything foe us cooking cleaning animals decorating. I want to be able to do such things again laundry yay. That stuff is a dream to me.

    Thank you so much for your openness and then I was able to share too. That's very kind and I value your Empathy.

    We can do this!! Your friend,

This is fantastic news, Jesse, and I'm delighted to hear about the glow that you feel which is giving you so much heart and encouragement to keep up your health regime. It's a true Christmas gift that is all the more special because you've gone through some troubling times and now come out the victor! I wish you all the best in the world to maintain that spirit of defiance and keep writing and walking. Well done and good cheer for the holidays! Debbie
