This 1st video shows standing from the bed (from 20 inches)...
This 2nd video is what I have been working on the most! As I gain more strength, I am able to walk with less help and for longer distances. This video is the most recent progress of me walking. For the past couple months, I have been working on walking with 4 people, then down to 3, then we moved onto using a walker and now, we are down to 2 people, with a little help! (notice she lets go of my left hand for a bit)...

Hey BD,
Holy F#%$!
OMG. You are amazing. Keep it up!
Hi Joel,
You're looking great! I have to say, I can't believe how much quicker you are at getting off the Physio bed compared to just two weeks ago when we were there seeing you do it! Its amazing how quickly that skill developed. Keep it up, it all looks so good!

I know I haven't been able to make it to Regina for a visit, but I have been following your progression on this Blog. I too had tears of joy well up in my eyes watching these videos. You're my number 1 hero.

Hey Joel,
I have to come up and see you......had a dream about you the other night. Every time that happens i know i have to get over for a visit. You look like you are doing really well and i'm really excited about all this walking that you're doing!
Was going through a stack of old pictues tonight and found tons of all of us when we were kids......tear, tear!
See you soon
Love Jenn
This is great Joel. At an impromptu meeting of the Hippos we deemed you able enoughto rejoin us at our annual launch the boat lifts and piers spring festival. ( We elected you to hold the deep end of the peir this year hoping it would sink in that DEEP is just an expression, at best a relative term - you idiot) I digress; this is the price of your incredible progress of late. We were going to leave you off the list until someone pointed out that you are walking better than I do on some (okay most) Saturday nights. As a matter of fact your current walk would pass as normal on any weekend on rum alley.
Anyhow keep up the good work.
Well, needless to say we are as astonished as the other 21 people who posted! This is truly the stuff of legends. Calvin will be looking forward to some ball hockey next time you guys get together so keep up the incredible focus. See you soon Joel - either here or there.
