I have trouble making progress as I have rubber legs. Something I never had, I had two very muscular legs and it just kills me to look at all of the atrophy. Its really sad but I know Im not alone in this that thier are countless numbers of us out there. So I take it one day at a time. I've learned patience and tollerence, something we can all use . I'm very proud of the fight we fight we have to fight but it proves that the human spirit is strong, strong enough to carry us to the next level.God bless you and us all. Rick-- Original message from Heather & Pieter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -- Hi Rick, Heather here in Calgary. It has been very quiet for quite a while. Guess nothing earth shattering happening. Sounds good about your new wheelchair. Red did you say? Wow. That is neat I'm using the WalkAide. It is working really really well. My leg with the foot drop/ toe drop or whatever it gets called does not get as tired when I walk using it. I even changed the electrodes myself on the weekend. I was a little nervous to do it but it was a piece of cake. I can now take a walk around our neighbourhood and have seen how the trees have grown so much. I use my walker still but do not have to sit and rest as often and can walk farther and longer for sure. I'm so glad and sooo fortunate that I was in the right place at the right time to get accepted into this trial program about it. It is for the 3 year Clinical Trial. I asked the Orthotist 'what happens to it when the 3 yrs is up?' the last time I was there. She said that she is not sure but she has never heard of Aids to Daily Living ever taking any equipment back. I know they cannot use it for other folks either once I have used it. At least she figured that it would be mine to keep. It is going to be interesting to see in the 3 years if my front leg and foot muscles have been taught anything and perhaps will be strong enough to remember how to lift the toes without the WalkAide. For now, I just keep chugging along. Is your chair a power chair Rick?

Re: [TMIC] Three-Year Mark
Good Afternoon, Many of you have asked my age, and how I manage. I am now 51 years old. I spent my 48th birthday in the hospital. It is very difficult to manage, because maybe not as many of you with TM may experience it, but many quadriplegics have experience with lack or loss of support from friends, family and community members. It is so hurtful and disappointing when friends, and especially family does not help or support you. If not for the help and support of my mother and husband and my strong faith in God, I would have surely lost my mind by now. I truly appreciate the support of my online friends.
