Well, my feet and legs are more numb and tingling. My balance is not all that great. I am not finding my center to hold myself upright. I have to be a little hunched in order to maintain from falling on my face. I worked on that this morning, though.
I am using some daily activities to help my balance and core muscles to stay strong. I stand as much as I can for as long as I can. Like, when I'm brushing my teeth. I will stand through the whole process. The motions of my arms help make me wobble a little. If the wobble gets to be too much or I get weak, I'll use one hand to rest on the counter to help maintain my stability. I do my usual reaching up, down, and across to each side while sitting to exercise my core muscles.
I still have a lot of work to go. I do not have outpatient physical therapy anymore at the rehabilitation hospital. I have to work on it myself if I want to walk again, which I do. Nothing motivates a person more than the fear of being paralyzed from the waist down all over again because of Multiple Sclerosis. God has carried me through. My family has helped immensely. I could not ask for more.
