Week 15 and things are looking up.

Allrighty. week 15 since diagnoses and some milestones are FINALLY being met. I can get on my underpants, pants and socks. Not shoes yet, but that's next. I can mostly dry myself off, except for lower legs. I can get off a raised toilet seat, and can get off any chair higher than 26". I am curling 2 pound weights, and am doing 15 minutes on the bike. I was able to roll over on my stomach and get up on hands and knees for the first time in three months. We've been practicing activities that can help me get up if I fall.  I had my family bring up the treadmill from the basement and I'll start on walking this weekend. I need to lose the walker asap, and I need to drive again.It's been almost 4 months, but I need to make sure I can hit the break pedal ok. So work to do yet. Big thing for me is stamina walking, and getting out of chair.  I'm on 20mg. Methotrexate, and 60 mg prednisone. The MTX makes me very sleepy the day after I take it, but it seems to be working......
