Had a good day with the legs yesterday and managed to walk across the room unaided for the first time. So today, I started with a double dose of painkiller with the hope of repeating the act, but it does not seem to have had any effect at all and I can't manage it again. Never mind, it was another small step forward.

Jack, you might need to start really slowly and only try walking unassisted like that every other day, allowing your body to recover on the off day.

What happens if you just stand and shift feet a little. This was one of the exercises I did a lot when to learning to walk again. My problem though was no balance and weakness, not pain in legs.

Hi Jack.

"Unaided across the room for the first time"? Brilliant! That's a BIG step forward and I have no doubt you will indeed "manage" it again and again.

One small step for Jack, One giant step for WegKind.

Jack, you inspire me all the time with your strength, determination, and amazing spirit.

Jack great news !!!!!!! but please be careful

Thanks for all the good wishes.
I just wish I could get to the bottom of why I have good days and bad days. If I could have the good days all the time, that would be great! But I expect we are all like that.

I dare say if you could Jack you would be the best Wegs doctor on the planet! ...Congratulations on your walking, keep hold of the positive image and 'go again' when you feel up to it.
