I am sooo glad for this update. It sounds positive and upbeat. I know through therapy, you will be able to walk again. I'm glad to hear you can go to get your mail on your own.
Several years ago I had surgery on my shoulder. I had months of therapy, more than I had expected. I'm no longer in therapy, but exercise my arm daily. I can now lift my arm above my head. That's how I know you will be walking soon. Little by little you will get stronger and stronger. Thanks for sharing your progress.

Thanks for sharing, LJ. I should be walking in around three weeks or so and then I will be free of my wheelchair! I will continue to post updates on my progress.

I hope not only David and Reed are on Team Jesse, but you include your FanStory family as part of this team as well. I will continue to pray that one day you will run. Thank you for sharing this progress with us.

I do include all of my fanstory family as part of Team Jesse. And you are one of them, my friend.
Take care,

Keep on trucking Jesse! I had fractured both ankles at once, and it felt as if it took forever before I could walk fairly comfortably again... almost a year. I still have bone chips floating around. Time is all it takes, time and exercises... and work. Lots of work.
Keep walking,
Susan :)

Giving yourself little goals is a great way to achieve what you want to do next. Each step is monumental at the moment, but when you succeed, what a feeling of pride you get and well deserved, too. You will get there, Jesse, you will run, you will do everything you want, because you are determined. We continue to root for you. Love and hugs, my friend, Sandra xx

Thank you, Sandra, you give some great advice for the little goals that I plan for myself. I will get there, and I will walk and run in time, all in good time.
Thanks for the love and hugs!

Comment from poetwatch
I don't know your story, Jesse. I'm proud to know you without knowing you. You will walk because you say so! Never give up, never surrender that is what I say. I have arthritis in both my arms. Recently I fell from the attic onto the cement floor. Went to ER because of a goose egg on my head and a bruised back. Everything looked ok, but I can't sleep because of my shoulders and my back. I'm 72 years old and I ain't giving in so you better not surrender. I'm adding you as a friend to know you better.

Thanks for sharing your strength, hope, and success, in surviving an accident with flying colors. I am glad you can relate to me and my experience in trying to walk again after two years of being in a wheelchair!

This piece has an excellent message. In order to move forward in life, or any endeavor for that matter, one must stay positive.
A good mental state is key to success.

-You always choose such nice images for your poems and stories, Jesse.
-I think this one is appropriate for the success you have had and for that which is to come in the future.
-You told your story well, and show a sense of pride in your accomplishments, as you should.
-Even though you'd like to do more, you don't complain. They say that a positive attitude is half the battle, and you have a very good outlook.
-It shows in your writing and your accomplishments, and you also thank those who are making it all possible.
-I am glad you have FanStory so you can share your thoughts. This not only helps you, but others, as well, who are going through difficult situations.
-Well done, my friend, and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!!

Thank you, Pam, for the extra star and the awesome and inspiring review. I have always admired you and your way of covering every asset of each post. I thank you and your willingness to get to the bottom of the piece and cover it with panache and clear precise details. Have a happy Christmas and New Year as well!
And thanks for your kind and thoughtful words.

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Jesse. I appreciate your reply, and I admire you for sharing your story and progress. I probably couldn't do that very well. Have a Merry Christmas and great New Year!!!!
Comment from Begin Again
Bravo, Jesse! No "woe is me" attitude for you, but instead you express gratitude for where you are and a positive outlook for where you want to be. I am thrilled to see your progress and your determination to march forward. Climb every mountain... regardless of how long it takes. Each step is an achievement to be proud of...
smiles and hugs, Carol

Yes, Carol, each step is a step in the right direction and I will climb every mountain and ford every stream...I love those lyrics from The Sound of Music!
Thanks for the extra star and for getting the gist of what I was saying.
