I’m completely out of breath and i lost my balance a few times, but i did it!

Been going through hell and back a couple of times the past few years and my recovery has been going slow. Decided today enough is enough and i’m gonna work more pro-active on getting better!

You get the hell up and keep going! Good for you! Dont stop!

I had half my body crushed in a car accident. Be determined but never rush. Overdo it and you can destroy progress.

Keep yourself in that state of mind, don't allow the world to take away your momentum.

My dad went through something similar, it's amazing how exciting these "small" victories can be...CONGRATS!!!!!

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Even doing chores feels really fulfilling these days. Never thought cleaning out the dishwasher could be fun! I hope your dad is doing well!

Hell yeah my dude, keep it up.

Serious question, how do you spend your time? Do you get bored a lot? Sleep a lot?

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I’m an avid gamer, so luckily i have my consoles to entertain me! Also try to do some chores here and there, and i’m a frequent imgur poster

Nice man, I wish you the best. Just checked out some of your frozen food posts, pretty cool +1

Keep at it! Every step is positive progress! No shame in falling if you get back up for more.

I am 38, had 2 strokes, was in n a wheelchair for 5 years and was told by drs that I’d never walk again. They were wrong! Stay strong m’dear

Wooh now don't go taking giant leaps to early! Leaps of 3' and under only! Congrats though that is awesome progress!

NEVER give up, never surrender! Was in bed >8yrs. Docs told me I'd never get out. 10 yrs on, I am driving again, do most of my ADLs.

7 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

Docs know a lot, but not everything - and your level of determination can accomplish things their schooling can't predict. GIT SOME!!

7 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

True. That’s why it’s the practice of medicine and not the sciences of medicine. Listen to doc’s advice but do you and be safe.

@op I recovered in record time from a coma, by having my bed on the floor. Getting up out of it built my stamina faster than anything else.

7 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

I’ll see if i can do similar things to make things more difficult for me! Sounds like a good idea, thanks!

I really like how this comment could be totally genuine OR the most sarcastic fucking thing ever and they both work.

I think you just need the metal plates on the bottom of your shoes, the rest just happens.

I’d have to grow a tail first i guess, but i can always try!

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'm sure the entertainment value would be high enough even without the tail. It's all in the legs.

Unfortunately.. you will never be able to play the piano again..

Swimming is therapeutic when you’re strong enough. I started off doing 30 metres after a long illness and now I can swim 5k.

It’s going to take EVERYthing you’ve got to come back from a bedridden illness. Take breaks often. Every day go just a little further.

I was in bed for five days. Five! Took me WEEKS to walk normally and manage stairs without dying. 5 days is all it took. Imagine years!

My mom suffered atrophy in her feet while at Mount Sinai. She laid in a bed for 30 days. It was awful. She never got her walk back.
