A Good Start + A Rough Ending

A few days ago I was able to once again take advantage of the Bioness devices.  I went through OT and Speech as normal, then had a break for a couple hours before returning to PT.  It took a really long time, but it worked so well.  With these devices I can walk without my braces and I am able to move more normally.  These devices are what we are shooting to get.  Here is an example of how it helps me to move.  This video, although the device remains on my leg, goes on and off at certain selected points.  So sometimes I'm moving under my own power.

Later that night I joined my husband with some of our neighbors at a fire pit.  It was fun, and it's nice to be with people.  I didn't say anything though.  I feel like I have so much to say but no one is there to talk to me. If there was four people, including myself, they could understand me and listen to me, and I would be able to converse.

Yesterday, my Grandma Condit passed away around 12 noon.  I feel sad and then I feel happy for her because she is free!  Free from all of it.  My grandma was not her normal self for the last 3 years of her life.  Now she is free from her aches, dementia, arthritis and all of her worldly cares.  Now she can go on!
