It really can be mind over mater.

George did something today, he hasn't done in over a year. Walk, without his walker. At first it was from one chair to another out on our front porch, but then he came inside without it and walked to his pod. I had to go fetch it from where he left it on the porch. I told him, it's about self-confidence. When he first had the stroke, he didn't need a mobility aide. He was walking without one. and, he had his peg tube. He walked unassisted for several months, deciding about the one year mark, he needed the walker, which he'd been glued to until today when he tried walking without it for the first time.
