Began Jan 2006 with the crutches in the closet. During winter-spring re-learned how to run and to kick (had to figure it out, not just a matter of regaining strength, similar to what stroke victims describe) and by early summer was nearly fully recovered. Next several years did some good mountain hiking upon occasion, but the last 4 years or so symptoms have been returning enough to cause impairment esp. upper motor neuron. Last good hiking was July 2012. Oct 2013 I went hiking and people were asking if I needed to be rescued, it was that ugly. I knew my limits and got out. Despite application of "jock science", I suffered a neurological setback (sometimes back on crutches). Since I hadn't had a setback like that before, I figured it was now "end game". However, gradually recovered over a period of a couple months. These days (spring 2014) I use a cane but don't need crutches.
