I'd say 1) first of all, the caretaker he has is wonderful......there for him at all times 2) the attitude at the Parker home is always positive 3) he never gave up on himself 'cause you-know-who wouldn't let him 4) they took time to enjoy one another, the new grands, and accepted life as they knew it without pressing to be "normal"!! 5) and ever so often took time to enjoy life and a little "Margaritaville"!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU!!! Hugs, jan P.S. How neat to be able to share your life with another tm-er!!

(Our friend being follow TM-er Rick Steele). He stands up from his wheelchair all the time and cooks, gardens, etc. He sometimes walks up stairs with the support of the banisters and has taken a few steps unassisted before. But, last night he just got up and walked without any support or assistance for a total of perhaps 40 steps! He was quite well balanced, all things considered. My suggestion to him was to get out the walker and the arm crutches and clean off the cobwebs and start practicing more at home. It's just amazing how much progress Terry has made. He's so determined and has such a good attitude through all his pain. For those of you that went from a wheelchair to walking or walking with assistance, what helped you? Any advise is greatly appreciated! Sandy Parker Get the Moviefone Toolbar. Showtimes, theaters, movie news & more! Get the Moviefone Toolbar. Showtimes, theaters, movie news & more!
