I think it would definitely give my parents peace of mind. I've been thinking of getting the Lifeline service for quite some time now. Maybe it's time I actually do something about it. I like your philosophy "I used to...". The great thing is that since I've started bringing my little grocery cart to school for balance I'm a lot more mobile now than I was last spring. I rely much less on others and I feel like I have so much more freedom. So it does feel like I'm getting better!

I like your philosophy “I used to…”. The great thing is that since I’ve started bringing my little grocery cart to school for balance I’m a lot more mobile now than I was last spring. I rely much less on others and I feel like I have so much more freedom. So it does feel like I’m getting better!

I’m just glad you ended up okay, Amanda like you always do. However, I still think it would be a good idea for you to have some sort of emergency alarm at your side at all times, like a call bell. I always have people looking after me, but if I were in your position, I know I would feel much safer that way. But if you ever feel bothered by the fact that you have MD, just think of it this way. You used to have DMD, but now they cured you a little and you can do a little more, lol… that’s how I think, “I used to be paralysed…” Although I can’t say I’m a believer that everything happens for a reason, I can understand where you are coming from and respect your point of view.

I completely understand your mixed emotions about not walking anymore. I know I would feel a lot safer and have more freedom if I used a wheelchair, and yet I want to keep walking as long as I can despite the safety issues. Amanda Johan, thank you for commenting!

It's so emotional to read your blog and I can feel the shudder in my body when your describe the fall. Every situation is so well described so I almost think I'am the person you write about. I don't walk anymore since 2 years, and have mixed emotions about that, a relief to avoid thinking about falling, but the walking is keeping the body in trim... Cheers Johan Hello,
