Gunny, congratulations, you have worked hard to get to where you are.
You now have all summer to develop your strength. I had great success
the first nine months after TM. We were living in northern Mi. and when
winter came we had 85 or 90 inches of snow and temps in the teens to 30
below. I had use crutches and have never regained the full use of my
legs since. Keep it up we are rooting for you.

Subject: [TMIC] Update
Hey there;
First off, I walked 120 feet past a mile two nights ago in 32 minutes.
Today= I just got back from Cleveland Clinic for my nine month checkup. Dr.
Ransohoff said that for the condition I was in when he first saw me, I am
still a Medical Marvel in that I have recovered the most he's ever seen. Nine
months ago my right leg, The weak one) was on a scale from 1 to 6 was a 2+.
Today it is a 5-. I walked 25 feet in 12 1/2 seconds as opposed to 20 seconds
last visit without locking my right knee this time. Overall strength has
improved 60%. Upper body is excellent. Just thought I'd share that with ya,
and let ya know, it can be done. Keep workin people, you can do it to.
Gunny
