Being discharged from the rehabilitation hospital I was transferred to, I was discharged in/with a wheelchair. I was led as I have shared to be ambulatory; we have already shared my refusal to accept the disability. To God be ALL the glory.
I give credit to my Dad for walking with me, encouraging me to walk and inviting me to go on evening walks with him! I shared years ago at his reaction of emotion and joy when I walked around the park without stopping!
