I survived my first day of rehabilitation at the Drake Center. It was about an hour and a half of work. They are going to build me up to a total of 3 hours a day. The good news is that all my muscles are working fine, just weak.
I also set a goal for myself; when I leave here, I want to go home, not a skilled nursing facility.
It is time to do my exercises and then get cleaned up. I wish I had the words to tell you all how much I appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and comments. You truly are making a positive difference to me and it helps me so much.
There are many different kinds of falls-economic, mental, physical & spiritual.I was labeled a "Fall Risk" the first time I went to the hospital for what was eventually diagnosed as Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, a progressive, auto immune disease.In a few weeks, I went from healthy to being an invalid and eventually almost completely paralyzed. With the help of God, loving family and friends, and modern science, I have begun to recover.

"When you're hanging by a thread, still you can climb life's mountains. Though the cliffs be rough and jagged, you can crawl. If you should slip, and reach rope's end, you'll find the hem of His garment. So, just hold on to that last thread of hope".
