Another day is upon us again (today is Wednesday). I got went outside with my walker yesterday and walked quite a ways for a beginner. I went from my house down two houses and back. I can tell it this morning but this will become easier with time. They say if I don't push too hard, time will take care of me. I have some small walks in the house today but nothing like yesterday, yet. My arms are sore from the extra weight they carry yesterday on the walker, but I think they will be OK with time.
I would like to thanks Tiff and the Keaton's for their responses. These may not say much other than "good job" and "God is with you", but their meanings are an important part of my life and VERY important in my life right now!
My Mom & Dad are here with me this week while Betty is at work. I think I am quite a fill for their normal day. I have so many little things that I need help with and they are there for me. It is so appreciated! I think the biggest fear we all of is of me falling down. I don't know (and hope I don't) what while happen if I somehow pull this, but they are here in case I do.
One of the changes I have seen since all of this started is a get a real bad headache during the night. The first week or so, the would fade with my medicine, but the are now staying longer. Last night I was up for 1 1/2 to 2 hours fighting this before it faded out. Talk about making you tired in the morning! I am hoping we can figure out what is causing this and take care of it, but we are confused by this at this point in time. We thought is was one of my medicines and stopped with it when it ran out and I had two nights with no problem, but they came back after that. We are looking at what else could cause this until we find something. Hopefully, something will show up soon to point us in the right direction.
Until then, I was all of you a great day and a great life because of all of you, mine is there.
Your loving friend,
Mark

Hi Mark,
It is so good to see that you are well enough to send your own messages. Many prayers have gone up for you and your family.
Please tell your Mother (my little cousin) that I said "Hi" and that I love her.
Still praying for ALL of you,
Ann Harvey
Mark, It is so good to read your words, and we are all so thankful for your positive attitude! Way to hang in there!
I'm sorry you are now suffering from headaches. There's nothing worse than getting woke up in the middle of the night with a bad headache. Prayers are headed your way!
Again, thanks for keeping us all posted, we love hearing how your are doing!
Love to you and yours,
Debra Jo, (Bradley cousin)

You sound like you enjoyed your walk, even though you felt it today, the weather is supposed to be really nice again tomorrow so maybe you can get out for a little stroll again. We are just so amazed with the fact that you are progressing so quickly, and doing your own writing. God is so good. We will be praying for your headaches to go away, and to find the source of them, so they will stay away. Maybe at some point we can stop by just to say Hi and see you. Is there anything we can do for you? (and Betty) Have a wonderful day tomorrow. Love and prayers, God Bless! Sallie, Scott & Noah Keaton
Mark,
This is Ricky Parker, The guys all say Hi and we are glad you are doing fine. We miss you out here. Tim Hubbard was offered a Lyondell job today. He will be transfering to Beaumont working under Kent Rawls in a few weeks. Get Well soon! We need you back !!!!
Hey cuz!
Way to go, "out and about", taking a walk in the neighborhood. I am so proud of you. Making the effort knowing it is going to hurt takes a lot of character and fortitude. Sorry Mark that I have not been more vocal in my support - I do read the blog daily, just have gotten lazy about writing - my apologies.
(Special note for those in my branch of the Bradley family who do not check their e-mails regularly - I forwarded an e-mail from Lori letting us know that Aunt Glenda is having knee surgery today. Our thoughts and prayers are with her for a speedy recovery. If only she and Mark lived closer to each other they could walk together!)
Love, Janet (Mark's cousin)
