Clinker 2.0

[Clinker]

Just giving everybody an update. I was hurt in October 2012 and classified as a c5 incomplete quad. I was also on a vent and had a traque in. I breath and talk on my own now. I was told I only had a 10% chance to regain any movement in my head, neck, or arms. Through busting my ass, I have regained full movement in my head and neck. I also have full range in my right arm and my left arm is almost there. My hands are still contracted, but its a work in progress. I had an ingrown toe nail on both my big toes, which wouldn't heal and caused lots of pain. Finally after telling the doctor off, I had her take the nails off and guess what they're finally starting to heal. I have also been working on wheeling myself around in a manual chair. And now the great news. They are talking about me WALKING with braces on my legs in the next week or two. I can't Thank everybody enough for all of the support. If you see me this summer, be sure to stop by and say Hi and have a beer with me.
Thanks Again.

Thanks guys. To answer how I got hurt, well... I went to do a belly flop in the mud and ended up doing more of a dive. Dive was good, the landing not so much, lol. There was a "SMIDGE" of alcohol involved.

Man  that sucks hope your recovery goes well.

Out at Perkins?  I was standing right there. Scary .

[Clinker]

Yeah, it was at Perkins. The craziest part is I've done some pretty dumb crap over the years, I think we all have, but never thought  this would be how I would get hurt. When I actually came to in the hospital, I couldn't believe that's how I got hurt. But happens, I keep saying it could always be worse. I'm going to recover just gonna take time.

And just think how far you have come so far. It won't be to long before you back on your feet. Keep up the hard work.

I stood Thursday and again Friday for the first time on my own feet. It felt great to be standing on my own feet again. Not only did I stand, I stood for an hour and never had any problems. Felt great to stand on my own feet again. Here's a couple pics for ya. Thanks again for the support.
