Motivation can be one of the most difficult things to achieve but it sounds like you have found it and are using it to the best of your ability. Praying that you get stronger and more confident daily with your walking and hurry back to FS.

Comment from Wendy G
Those would indeed be scary and frightening nightmares, so I hope you can have better dreams. Sounds like you are in fact making good progress with your walking. Using a walker will be much easier and allow you more freedom. Best wishes, Jesse, you are geting there!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Someone wrote a verse the other day about the need to take small steps, not leaps and bounds, when navigating change. Your lovely, inspiring write reminded me of this, especially the way in which you've already mentally taken those baby steps towards the biggest change of all. You're incredibly positive and determined and this will help you enormously. I wish you all the very best, Jesse, for your knee op in Feb and thereafter. Well done! Debbie

Thanks, Debbie, for the supportive and encouraging review.

Comment from lyenochka
I am definitely wishing you well and I'm actually encouraged by your "nightmares" because you are mentally preparing for the battle. Soon you'll be dreaming about walking with ease and after your surgery you'll actually be walking!

Yes, Helen. These nightmares are preparing me for walking.
Walking with ease is a dream of mine. Let us hope after the surgery I will be walking again.

That's my prayer, too! 💖🙏🙏
Comment from Bill Schott
This essay, Dreams of Walking, is interesting and obviously frustrating to have to endure the challenge of walking even while dreaming. Good to know the obstacle courses are simply mental. One day the walking struggle will become a story you speak about in retrospect.

That is a good goal. Speaking in retrospect about my walking struggles. And yes, it is frustrating to go through an obstacle course every night in my dreams. Thank you for getting the drift of what I was writing about.
Enjoy the day.
Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Jesse, it's so good to see you in print, and I am wishing you well--wishing you the best. They say that dreams represent our fears and our hope. I think your dreams have been doing both. Of special note:
150 steps, as counted by my caregiver, Denise,
(Congratulations on the 150 steps. They have been hard earned, and they are just the beginning of more steps to come as well as happy times. I am cheering you on.)
I'm glad that your brother is doing better from his surgery. Now sounds like the perfect time to get your walker back--slow and steady wins the race.
Thanks for sharing your progress. It all sounding positive.
Keep on truckin'. Best wishes, Margaret ~ LateBloomer

Thanks, Margaret, for cheering me on to my destination to walk again unaided. In the interim, I will walk with a walker around the apartment until the day when I rush past the caregiver to go outside and shout freely that I am proud of myself!
Thanks for the good wishes.
Enjoy the weekend!

Comment from mermaids
I do wish you well and I believe you will walk again. From reading your words, you sound so determined. You have an uplifting tale here that encourages others to not give up. The dreams we have at night, sometimes are manifestations of the goal we want to achieve.

Agreed. The dreams we have are manifestations of our goals. The obstacle course is difficult to climb over and through and I hope to make it go away someday.
Enjoy the weekend.

Comment from Mrs. KT
I am so excited for you, Jesse!
I just know that all is going to be well!
What really stands out to me in your narrative is the beginning of your paragraph: descriptive, taut, and drawing in the reader to proceed.
And how I smiled at the thought of your mother and "three ladies" preventing your entrance to the facilities - not that their presence is positive - but that it's just wonderful detail to share with readers.
Your offering is filled with positivity and hope!
You've got this, Jesse!
One of your best offerings ever!
"Nose to Toes," dear friend!
fondly,
diane

Your determination is absolutely inspiring! I could feel the hope in each line. Especially in the way you describe those nightly struggles and your journey toward walking independently. The details about your brother and the walker was so heartfelt. It's so uplifting to read about your progress, step by step. I'm cheering you on and sending all my best wishes for your journey forward!
