I'm still making progress on my recovery, though it is slow going most of the time.  Last Tuesday, I felt like a huge barrier had somehow been removed, and I started walking without my hemi walker. It's just a few steps at a time, and I keep my walker with me for balance. I hope to move to a quad cane full-time soon. The video below shows off my walking unsupported skills. 

My endurance has increased, so I'm able to walk further and stand longer. Tomorrow, I'm having my first massage in a year. I'm looking forward to it!
