4 Months

Many people thought I would get off the plane walking by myself and many still think I get better every day, but unfortunately it's not like that. It is taking a lot of patience, physical rehabilitation and the support of my family and friends, because it’s not easy… I’m still very fatigued and it hampers easy tasks such as getting up from bed, brushing your teeth, and so on.

However, I have had some improvement:
No more electric pinching in my soles.  It was hard to fall asleep with that…
I went twice to the movies and I didn’t have to rush into the bathroom
I sense all the flavors.  No more sour sensation of liquids.
I can lift my right arm up to my head
I gave the wheelchair back and now I’m using a walker, which strengths my leg muscles
I wore sandals and even could give some steps without holding onto anything!
I had the visit of my brother and his wife from Israel, my uncles from the US and my aunt from Spain.  It was a wonderful month surrounded by a lot of love…

Patience, exercise and love.  That is the clue...
Take care
