Some of you may remember that I went through the same thing after an operation about 2 years ago. Besides e-coli I also had MRSA,C-diff,sepcis, pneumonia and congestive heart failure. It took me a year and a half before I could walk independently again. I am still not as good as I was, my blood is not quite normal and I get fatigued easily.

Same here. I'm so glad you have recovered as well as you have, Herman. Hope John's progressing well too.

I walked unaided for the first time in 3 months today. It was a huge moment for me emotionally. I'll be moving from the walker to a cane in the next week or so. The therapists don't want me walking unaided outside of therapy sessions right now.
I also got approval to start driving again. I can't get in the S and if I do I can't get out.
