Good morning everyone, well the end of summer is quickly upon us, and I realize it’s a long time since we’ve done  Ann update. I continue to do physical therapy much of it in the swimming pool. I am getting stronger., Building core strength and working on my walking. I have been able to do many more things , Including driving the car. I go to places where I know I will either have a scooter or something to ride on and I actually drove and got a pedicure on Saturday.  I now practiced walking around the house using an orthotic cane, I always make sure that there is a cupboard or a railing or a wall for me to stabilize myself if I need to.  I also am able to do some of the simpler things that you didn’t ever think you would have to re-learn or have trouble re-learning, such as using a curling iron, brushing your teeth with your right hand, making toast and putting butter on it, all these Activities have needed some re-training and taking care when you do those things. One of the things I have done for treatment is stem cell transplant to my knee to help heal it. This will take a few months to achieve all the results, but the procedure went great.   I cannot begin to say how much we have appreciated all of the cards , Prayers, flowers, food, well wishes, and just all of the support we have received. It has lifted us up and made all of the healing possible  I have felt your prayers and I believe that God has heard them. May you have a blessed four, a relaxed Labor Day weekend,  and God bless all of you for everything you have done for us. Will try to keep the updates going love Emily and Norm.
