Hello everyone. Another good day today. The therapist has once again changed the rehab regiment to help me to continue to push myself as hard as I can everday. He had me sitting on the edge of the mat with my feet on the floor holding a .5kg stick ( I know it isn't much ) with my arms straight out in front of me and lift it over my head, repeatedly. Had I tried this two weeks ago I would have fell over and not been able to stop myself, but today I held up strong. By the end of the workout, I can feel every abdominal muscle that I have burning which is awesome considering I have not been able to use the muscles this much since my accident. The sweating is still the same and the toe twitching is still happening. I concentrate on it several times a day and although it doesn't happen every time just yet, I can tell the difference between me doing it and the muscle having a spasm causing the toe to move.
I wanted to let everyone know that you need to go and get a Business Week magazine that is out now and check out the article on the stemcell refugees. Last injection is tomorrow so I will get an update back on as soon as I can. Well I need to get going because dad is performing wheelchair maintenence for someone and needs some assistance. Talk to everyone later.
