Albeit quite unsteadily and she falls down every now and then. But she is actually walking!!
I am so happy! Here is what happened. I took her for her accuopuncture on Tuesday. It wasn't a very positive session as he said that we had been doing it for 3 months and could extend to 6 but there might not be any more improvement. I said I would definitely go to 6 months. Anyway, he did the accupuncture and then instead of injecting an analgesic (lidnocaine?) into her back, he injected cortisone. We have done this before - but always at the top of her back where the lesion is. This time round he did it there and at her hips at her back legs. It actually hurt her though (which hasn't happened before - maybe her feeling is coming back?). I took her home, no difference on Tuesday night, I was at work yesterday. When I got home last night, she was sitting on a chair - had got up by herself. She then started to walk for me.
