Sara -

I just now saw your post and wanted to say "Way to go!!"  I know how slow this all feels.  I am so glad that you are seeing some progress, and that your doctor also sees it.  I am keeping fingers crossed that you'll continue to see more and more improvement.

Debbi, sending you smiles

Sara,

Great to hear about your progress!  Is that 46 out of 100?  If so, you've really made a great jump from 12 to 46.  Just awesome!

Yes, it is a scale of 100. If I make a similar increase between now and March, it would put me at 80! I'm not going to hold my breath for that, but it sure would be nice.

I wonder what the average person would score. I bet a perfect score of 100 would be uncommon.

 Sara,
I just got back in town and was elated when I read this. I had tons of time to sit on the beach and meditate and pray and I always include my friends on this forum. Glad to know God is listening and making things happen! I know you must be so happy. Take good care of yourself.
