UPDATE:

Therapy this week was a painful one. Since the muscle's in my shoulder's are starting to come back and we are using them, while we build them, it creates knots and tightness in my shoulders. We have spent the last two days, trying to massage them out. Talk about painful, I know its for my own good, but damn does it hurt. Other then that, it was a good week. The core, shoulders and sitting balance, are all still showing signs of improvement. I was able to wheel myself up the wheelchair ramp at therapy today and my sit up's and rolling are getting better and better. Thank You again for all of the support.

Moving along. We worked the core really good this week and we bumped up the weight for my shoulder exercise's. I stood for an hour again, with no trouble. We started working on me transferring myself. From mat to mat for now and did it once to my chair today. For being the first time trying it, I did exceptionally well with it. Got a ways to go, but its a great start. My therapist filmed the transfer so her staff, students and myself could study it. The left wrist is still fighting us a lot, but we are slowly getting some flexion out of it. Thank you for all of the support.

I've had better. This week has been a rough one. I have been spazing all week and all through the night. We can't figure out why, our best guess is the change in weather. We worked the shoulders and the core again this week. I stood for an hour with no problems in the parallel bars and we usually have to have a brace on my left wrist, but we didn't need it, due to the wrist staying straight on its own and me being able to push weight through it. I can sit on my own and hold my balance while resisting being pushed left, right, front and back. I need some more work when being pushed forward, but all great improvements considering everything going on. Thank you, for all of your support.

This is good news. Keep up the great progress.

Keeping on. I still had lots of trouble with spasms again this week. Still unsure why. Lower back is a little sore, from having them. But a little shaking and tightness isn't going to stop me. We did some core, pecs and shoulder exercises. We also worked the triceps really good. I practiced wheeling myself up the ramp today and did really well with it, still needs a little more work. I had a progress report this week and in the past month or so, my left wrist has gone from -15 degrees to +20 degrees, finally!! I also transferred myself from table mat to table mat with little to no asstiance. For the first time, I was able to transfer back to the table mat using my left arm. Thank You, for all of your support.

Yeah Buddy!! Had a great week. We worked my lower back, core, shoulders, traps, triceps and my oblique's. I did a new exercise that worked almost all the muscles I just listed and did very well with it. My core and trunk control, have gotten to the point where I'm being able to control it better during exercises. Today we worked on going from a wedge to sitting my self up, still needs work, but it went very well. I also stood for an hour, after doing shoulders, they were a bit tired, but after a quick break I was good to go. We did push ups with some asstiance. I'm still doing my sit ups at home, along with arm exercises. Thank You, everybody for your amazing support. Truly honored, to have so much support.

Doing good. We did core, shoulders, back and obliques. We really stuck it to my shoulders and pecs this week. I have been really working my triceps and biceps at home. I'm also stretching my fingers several times a day, for several minutes at a time and also stretching the wrist more. I'm slowly gaining more strength on my obliques. I'm getting pretty good about catching myself, when sitting on the mat. If I fall side to side and forward. I also found I'm starting to be able to push myself up, off my knees. Thank you for all of your support.
