Re: Tying shoelaces...........

Does this mean you can now be referred to as " straight-laced " Edith?

I just realized today that I can now see the soles of my feet by twisting

them up towards me on the inside. Never thought of it before and it's amazing

how

these " little " things can bring great joy.

Enjoy, Edith. There's more to follow.

Tying shoelaces...........

Hi,

As this is often cited as a milestone and something I have lusted after

being able to do for almost 37 years............ I am happy to report that I

purchased a brand new pair of lace up runners on weekend and can tie the

laces on the BHR side...........

This happened 1 months shy of 2 years of getting the BHR........ if fact of

recent times I reckon it has increased flexibility a little more......... so

all you 'few weeks out feeling frustrated with progress' it does keep

happening............

I probably will not be using the runners as meant because of the damage to

the rest of the body but they will sure look neat at the gym where I have to

play with all these young things while on this course of

mine..........smile.

Edith,

You know I empathize, honey. I may have beaten you to the punch

by a year and a few months, but the day I laced up my own work boot

was a major milestone. I am so happy for you. It'a a major victory,

I tell you. And I look forward to the day when I can lace up

something snazzy and take my beatiful bride out dancing. Hell, I

might even take DANCING LESSONS!!! Youv'e always been a source on

inspiration for me Edith, and I couldn't be happier for you. And

it's bed time now, but I'll grin tommorrow morning when I lace up my

boots and think of you. You go girl....

Boy, that's a scary thought. A dancing Roach, huh? I suppose you'll

be dancing to La Cucaracha ;-)

All kidding aside...Edith, you're my hero (and I'll bet most of the

people here would second that motion).

You go girl...

Being unable to do it now, I can only tell you a straight-to-center

tying of my gym shoes will be the true sign to me that my hip is

finally fixed...whenever that may come.

Congratulations...

Hi Des,

Now along the same lines does this mean that you are no long 'souless

Des'???

I am sure we must startle people around us when we get carried away with our

new found wonders of our body movement.......... so I am glad we have a

group where we can 'show and tell'...........
