Last summer I suffered a kidney infection, which, by the time it was
brought under control, had spread to and destroyed the muscles in my
lower back. I've been in a wheelchair since then.
While I have been doing therapy to try and rebuild those muscles,
progress has been incredibly slow. Until yesterday. I got up in the
morning, waited for the sledgehammer to hit . . . and waited . . . and
waited . . .
It never hit. I was able to get around the house mostly without pain.
If I stood for too long it would start to hurt, but it was more of a
"seriously overdid it at the gym" type of pain, rather than the "being
beaten with a sledgehammer" that I had been experiencing for almost 8
months now.
I'll probably use the wheelchair for a bit longer until I get more of
my strength back, but for now, I'M MOBILE AGAIN!!!!!!!!

That is just very very cool news m'lady. I can imagine (I
think) how you feel as I've had a similar experience. After being on disability for 7 years (left-side paralysis after a car accident), I now pretty much
have control of all 4 limbs and the pain has improved significantly. Coyo is so right on--taking things for granted becomes out of the question.
