So I am bed ridden

[ChristisKing]

Good luck and congratulations on losing that much weight, just 30 more pounds to go to reach your goal, you got this.

Hey, you've got a heart too.

I have been bedridden with just a small amount of time each day spent in a wheelchair since about June of 2022.

I am learning to walk again. I lost 130 pounds over a bit of year and am still heavy I weigh 234 my max weight should be 186 or so. All the weight dropped has added me in moving around and I stand a lot on the side of the bed.

I just walked with the aid of a walker from my room to the living room and back. And I only started therapy a week or so ago. My goal is to be able to use the bathroom again, which means I need to get a bar put up in the bathroom cause the walker is too wide to enter and where the bathroom sits, we can't widen the door. I am basically able to walk there now just can't enter yet. The Bathroom is closer to my bedroom then the living room is.

I am also spending more time in the chair. I have bedsores and it is good for them to change how I am laying or sitting. So, things are looking up for me.

Glad to hear you are making progress. I have a friend in a similar situation but he weighs about 350. Bad knees, doc won't help unless he loses 100 lbs.

Hope you recover, and improve beyond your goals. Keep setting new ones!

I hadnt been walking well since 2016 or so was using a wheelchair for anything more than a few hundred feet. then in December 2020 I passed out in the bathroom from covid and came down hard and shattered my right ankle. Because I had covid they wouldnt operate so I had to heal the old-fashioned way spent 8 months in a nursing home with a cast and orders not to put any weight on the ankle.

the cast I had for 7 months and then spent a month learning to walk again. When I got home I had a hospital bed and got lazy didnt get up much. about 6 months later I was leaving a doctor visit and fell trying to get in the car. Pretty much gave up after that.

But my grandkids live with me now and have motivated me to try again.

Family and determined motivation are the two main things needed to get well
