    Getting out and pushing as much as possible. Using the standing frame has been good as well. How about yourself? @ianmal3

    I have been staying busy with classes and physical therapy. I've been able to ride my RTI bike and stay active at home. Glad to hear you are doing well! @Sterlion

    I am working 11 hours a day from home but start my day with an hour long hot bath and then a 2 minute cold rinse. I take a lunch and do yoga/weights/stretch for an hour. I started a plant based diet 4 weeks ago. Feeling strong and amazing right now!  I also broke down and ordered a standing frame glider. It’s not here yet but soon I will be invincible ☺️ .

    @Brandilane1 a hour long daily bath, that sounds amazing!  We don’t have a bath tub it’s now a roll in shower. I’m saving $ to convert our other smaller shower. Being in water is so relaxing and something I really Love!
    My daughter is vegan and diabetic I’m concerned she doesn’t get enough protein what do you eat for protein and do you take vitamin B-12 or vitamin D?

    I also take flora, dmannose, a woman’s one day vitamin and 3 drops of minerals in my water once per day.  The bath is always the highlight of my day. I worked and saved very hard to get a tub and rollin shower. It can be done so don’t give up!
