We just got back from Florida tonight and we are still elated at the prospects of what lies before us. Deb is still kicking up her heels, literally. Oddly enough, she has this new movement of swinging her leg out to the side when sitting on the edge of the bed. Picture a kid swinging her feet together, clicking her new patent leather shoes together, that's the motion Deb started doing when trying to swing her leg forward, so we just went with it (at this point, movement is movement and every twitch is celebrated.)
We are looking forward to our workouts. Between our adjustable bed, elastic bands, and cycling machine, we have enough to keep Deb's legs stimulated as she strengthens and coordinates her movements.
This is mind-blowing, consciousness-shifting stuff! Can you imagine even having the very real possibility of regaining the use of your legs after 20 years? Every twitch is rebirth, every conscious movement is a revelation from God! I told Deb that having her legs starting to work is like having a new toy. Like a kid, I can't wait to play again.
Deb says, "I am inspired to the utmost and extremely grateful."
Always remember...DREAMS NEVER DIE!!!!
