Yes, I did consider the left foot accelerator, Heather, but then had hand
controls installed in my car instead. I then found I just didn't use them. I

Hello, dear Jude! I just read your note to Terry about walking with no sensation to the feet? Such exciting and wonderful news!!
That is how I walk and it is true about having to watch your feet. At home I don't so much since it'

I am wondering...do you also have sensation with the ability to walk? Or,
have you always had it? Never had it?

This is the best e-mail I have received since I was stricken with TM in June.
I PT therapist that wouldn't let me say "I can't" and if I said "I won't" that
was worst than when I was a child at home. Two of them would drag me - just
kidding (almost) LOL. Doctors don't know it all only the one up above does.

G'day Sandy,
What great news about Terry! I know how happy you both must be about
this.
I was paralysed from my chest to toes at the onset but regained a small amount
of movement quickly and gradually strengthened over a period of three months.
When I left hospital (after 5 days I ha
What wonderful news. I hope we all can persist and win just as great .

Congratulations Terry,
Job well done. Here's hoping you are able to do more of the same. As Sandy
says, dust off the walker and arm crutches.

Wonderful news!! Good going, Terry
I remember how much I sweat (no perspiring...just plain old SWEAT!!) trying to
just stand up but with plain old stubbornness and tenacity, I made it! It was
the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life but also the most rewarding

at all times 2) the attitude at the Parker home is always positive 3) he never
gave up on himself 'cause you-know-who wouldn't let him 4) they took time to

My best advice is to keep a positive attitude and exercise regularly. I

to a walker,quad cane , reg cane and finally no cane at all. I still
