I also wanted to share that I reached another milestone yesterday at work. I had spinal surgery on April 12 of this year; prior to that I had put on 100 lbs to my already 200 lb frame bringing me to 300 which coupled with my "osteo" and a cyst that grew on my spinal cord pretty much made physical activity impossible for me. OK the point being after only 3 months and no physical therapy yet I managed to walk up 32 steps at work. I have not taken a stair case in over 1 year and It was amazing.
