The Latest!!

The next step, as shown below, is about finding the ability to walk with very little support. My physio does have a strong hold of me just above my hips on the white belt, but this is no walker, crutches or canes. It is a very unrealistic situation in the near future for me, but at this point it is maximum energy output but also maximum stimulation of all muscle groups, which means progress!

So I really feel like a waddling penguin here because I am dressed in black and have my hands nervously stashed in my pockets.

Great work Joel!
You might feel like a waddling penguin, but being a "Penguin" these days is not bad : they seem to be walking towards the Stanley Cup! Keep the good work, Champion!

Not bad. When are you going to be ready to row a double? Do you realize in a few weeks we'll both officially be masters? And just in time for Calgary... And no that comments not meant to make you feel old - it's meant to make the rest of the club feel ancient.

I think I've got your email wrong - bounced back to me (and yes I do know how to spell Bancescue). Send me a note at ambundon@interchange.ubc.ca

Hey Joel,

Nice penguin dance. Maybe next time bright colours would be in order to deflect the penguin comments ;). Glad to hear that you´re still making positive progress, and that your outlook is still upbeat. Best of luck in continuing forward, with respect to your progress and your walking! Cheers,

Matt

My friend and I happen to be discussing personal blogs
and online journaling. She feels that personal feelings and
such must not expressed in such open forums.
I see not a problem from it. Share your thoughts:.

one Do you blog or journal?. second . Do you prefer one on one
expression of feelings over written communication?.
