I remember when my mom injured herself twice during her brain cancer treatment--broken leg and then broken hip requiring a hip replacement--and she was completely immobile since she had ZERO arm strength. Looking forward to seeing a picture of your buff arms! susayounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617707552608332048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543431780206376818.post-43235334459987211352017-02-10T08:59:57.949-05:002017-02-10T08:59:57.949-05:00You are right on, Julie!

One day I remember thinking, "Geez, my arms are tired." And like you, I ran my hand along my arms. I could feel the muscle! And by the time I was allowed to start walking, my triceps were the strongest and most defined that they've been in my adult life! And just think how perky your boobs will look with all that upper body work!! They were on this morning on the radio about 63 yr old Kristie Brinkley posing in a bikini. You'll be "model ready", just like Kristie (but younger...MUCH younger)!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057193855187514072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543431780206376818.post-11249478224296340112017-02-09T10:08:37.415-05:002017-02-09T10:08:37.415-05:00Sense of hearing became much more acute for the bl...Sense of hearing became much more acute for the blind folks we worked with in Congo. Wonderful how the body adjusts and compensates as abilities shift. Glad you are appreciating some positives about your condition.
