Only my dear friends here would understand but my catheter is out!!!!! One
more step for me and less bitching to the nurse staff and my family and
friends.  I am now intermittently catheterizing which quite frankly is a
hell of a lot less work than the catheter was.  Who would figure.

So progress!  i am getting Pat and Ken to take back the wheelchair on Monday
and the bars on the toilet.  I don't think I need them.  Only the walker and
I have started using my cane around the house - don't dare do that outside
though.

Thanks everyone - knew people would understand here!  Progress.

Great news so is the paralysis settling down?

No but I am walking much better now - takes a lot of messages to the leg
though and the responses are really slow.  The numbness and sensation is
still the entire way and the neurolgic responses in the leg and foot are
still wild to quote my pt.  My rd should be back next week so will see what
happens.  Can't drive at all yet and do need my walker - but the catheter is
out at least now and that was the miserable part.  My body was rejecting it
so felt like I was in labour all the time.

WoooooooHoooooooo!!  Man, I know how good that feels!!  Sorry it has to be
put back in even intermittently, but at least you've shed the leash.

Hugs, DeeTee

Good for you, you go girl. I knew you could overcome this. I hope  you keep
getting better each day till you are back to your usual self or even better
than that. ;-)

I know you still have a way to go, and I am still keeping the prayers going.
You take care and don't push yourself too much.

I can feel your relief in this post and that is good to hear.

Love and hugs to all
Good thoughts coming your way too.
