Moving Forward

The focus of my blog is going to change a bit. I plan on chronicling my step by step journey to leave an institution after 20 years to move into the community. I finally made the decision to stop being scared and move forward. Most of the support I've had has come from friends in the DMD community online, which has meant a lot because I really don't have family support except for maybe 2 people. A few other people in the rehab hospital I live in have voiced some degree of support, but nothing very motivating. The motivating force that has helped me gain the confidence I needed to make this BIG decision has come from a VERY special person that has only been in my life for about 4 months now. Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook have heard me mention my good friend Julie on several occasions. She is one of the most sweetest women I have ever had the honor and pleasure to meet. She has a heart of gold and is dedicated to helping me achieve my goal of getting out of this hospital that has been my home for FAR too long. Expect to see more post detailing my slow but steady progress on this journey.

Peace,

Chris
