Every time I learn a new function, my walking slows down significantly. I need to return my focus and attention to the new detail in my gait, and it slows…

I loved the feeling of walking without my braces so much, I tried again a couple times with Hunter last week. It was just as incredible the second and third…

Hunter gave me the title for this week's entry; more importantly he gave me his shoes. I didn't walk a mile in them, but I did walk the first thirty…

Oops, I skipped posting last weekend. Things begin to get crazy around BFA during the month of May. Students turn their brains off, and teachers have to fight with them…

Saturday was a special treat for me as I was able to spend the day with Jo and Lydia - two of my friends from REHAB. Jo drove me out…

This week a friend posted on Facebook a meme that said, "I feel like I'm already tired tomorrow." I relate to this sentiment on a painfully deep level. I remember…
