No news is good news?


I think I titled a previous entry the same.lol...opps. Well the good news is my brain scan (MRI) was clear. No new growth or change...GREAT NEWS!...I always go in with a positive attitude and most people would be nervous ,but I do not even let the 'what if' enter my brain.

Similar to therapy. I stay positive and say'why not'. Lately though it is sooo difficult to do that. Last summer, I was making huge gains and since January they have been getting progressively smaller/slower...not cool. The amount of time to get as far back to 'John' is taking way too long. Last Thursday though I made some positive gains. I have noticed that when I lose balance, my reaction time to put a foot out or somehow correct myself is better. I also did a better job than usual, when walking around the pool. I am trying to think of ways to recognize the fact that I keep about 70% of my weight shifted to the left leg(I can really only tell in a mirror...I'm getting better at noticing though) It makes walking that much more difficult!!! So, I am experimenting and flexing that hip super hard. It kinda helps.

I'm ready for this week. Cub game Tues and Friday my cousin Mike is coming from Illinois...should be cool!
