thanks for the goodwill everybody
unfortunately it didn't last, but overall, i am more mobile than i have been in awhile. i was even able to go on walks around the block 4 days in a row last week, alas, it only lasted a week, from sunday night to sunday night. i am able to walk to the kitchen using the staff or alone a few times a day, but it really seems to change so much from day to day and hour to hour.
i'm still not being treated for it except gabapentin and oxycodone but hope to soon, going to a new PCP tomorrow to get the referrals i need.
