You are probably going to find a new you. I hate to use "cliches" but the way progress is made at such a snails pace that may take LOTS of time. I have markers that can tell me how I am doing. ie, How scary the shower is. How hard it is to drag a foot into the tub. I have progressed to where I can climb a street curb instead of going to the wheelchair ramp. Not a giant leap, but something to hang on to. I know you are suffering loss and I hope that I have not discouraged you. I will graduate from a walker to a cane someday if Father Time doesn't get in the way. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
PS, Elapsed time of progress approx 1 yr.
