I am so happy today that I can barely sit still. I go in for surgery next Tuesday. This may not seem like something to be happy about but, it will be the first in a series of operations that, if everything goes as planned, will enable me to walk again by next summer. I really don't mind giving up the wheelchair.

Sounds like a major milestone. I wish you all the best. Let us know how it turns out!
As one who came within a "gnats breath" of being where you are, I can honestly say, "Anytime you can put one foot in front of the other, you are ahead of the game." Most of us go through life not knowing just how wonderful a gift the ability to walk is.
All the best over the next year. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
You are in my prayers.

Sounds like a plan. Hope it all works OK. Keep us posted.
Having gone the wheelchair route myself I have to say I much prefer walking, even with an assist from a cane or two.
Best of luck to you next week and may the rest of the new year be filled with happy strolls!
Good on you and good luck CW!
Ditto that!

I'll be looking for the ad for a wheelchair for sale this summer.
Wishing you the absolute best of all things medical, and the luck of all generations of Irish combined be looking over your shoulder.
We'll be praying for you!!

May the surgeons have the best of luck in everything they do for you, for a great and quick recovery. Do keep us informed on your progress. Wishing you all the best, `Casper
Will it be as much fun as the chemo I am going to be subjected to starting Jan 2121?
Up to now I feel pretty darned fine. Short of breath. Thassall.
As we need to build up this magnificent bod of mine (lost 42 #, ooops) Angela marched me into my favourite delis, handed me HER credit card and said: "Go nuts"!
