May has been a good month overall. I am becoming more mobile although I am not yet where I want to be in that regard. My upper thighs have become more muscular and my balance while standing is much better. I have been eating a very high protein diet. There was a noticeable loss of muscle mass in my upper thighs after the hospital. The body scavenges protein to keep the vital organs going during hospitalization. Progress comes in steps, with incremental improvements and days where I can do very little. Saturday I got frustrated with my progress only to find a jump in strength the next day. I tried to lift a have object Saturday and could not do it from a standing position, but I was able to do it Sunday. That was a huge breakthrough. While my standing balance is good I have much balance to regain while walking. That will come with repetition and diligence.
