Yippee!!!!! Way to go Terry! I know how hard you have worked for this and how long it has taken you. You deserve this good news. I am wondering...do you also have sensation with the ability to walk? Or, have you always had it? Never had it? For the life of me, I don't understand it when people say that they are walkers but have no sensation and have to watch with every step where their feet are placed. It must be so difficult. I shed tears of joy for you Terry...and for you Sparker...you know how much I love you. God Bless You again and again, Jude In a message dated 11/17/2008 10:32:45 P.M.

DITTO!!! hard not to get down somedays and to read such an up lifting post... it gives us all hope kim tm since 04 -------------- Original message from "Patricia Cooley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -------------- This is the best e-mail I have received since I was stricken with TM in June. I know I am a newbie and haven’t been at it as long as most of you all. I do get depressed at times, but this gives me such hope. I am so happy for Terry and his family. Patti in Wisconsin From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 12:40 PM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] GOOD NEWS! 8 1/2 years + with TM for Terry and he just spontaneously walked at our friends house the other last night. (Our friend being follow TM-er Rick Steele). He stands up from his wheelchair all the time and cooks, gardens, etc. He sometimes walks up stairs with the support of the banisters and has taken a few steps unassisted before. But, last night he just got up and walked without any support or assistance for a total of perhaps 40 steps! He was quite well balanced, all things considered. My suggestion to him was to get out the walker and the arm crutches and clean off the cobwebs and start practicing more at home. It's just amazing how much progress Terry has made. He's so determined and has such a good attitude through all his pain. For those of you that went from a wheelchair to walking or walking with assistance, what helped you? Any advise is greatly appreciated!
