Another quote from the same story:
The sensation in Clark's legs was coming back. By the end
of the week, he had almost total feeling. Bernie advised
him to start strength exercises so he would be able to try
and walk soon. Standing by himself, next to the bed, is
where Lois found him when she woke the morning of their day
off.
"Clark?" She touched his back from her position on the bed.
He turned to look down at her. "Pretty good, huh?"
"It is." Lois eased up in the bed and leaned on the
headboard. "Can you take a step?"
"I haven't tried. When I woke up, I thought I'd try to
stand. I've been here for about half an hour." Clark very
carefully lifted one foot from the floor. The step was
small, but it was a success. He was amazed that he didn't
feel like he'd fall. His legs were strong and supported his
weight easily. "I guess being super helps."
"Yeah." Lois jumped from the bed and reached out to take
Clark's shoulders. "Lean on me. I'll help." He placed his
hand on her shoulders and allowed her to take some of his
weight. Together they took a few careful steps. "Look at
you!" Lois said through happy tears.
"Lois, honey...?"
"I'm okay. This is just so great. I feel like it's me
taking these steps. I guess it is in a way. What one does,
the other does. And I love you and you're part of me...."
