Not bad. We did shoulder's, triceps, back and pecs. We worked on transferring myself from my chair to the mat and trying to move my hips forward in the chair, to make the transfer much easier. I'm doing good with it, but we have a ways to go and I have to figure out, how to move my feet. Its a work in progress. I also worked on trying to sit myself up, while leaning on my side. The left arm is stretching out pretty good, as well as the fingers.
Thank you, for all of the support.

Looking good. We did shoulder's, core, back, sitting myself up and standing. I stood for an hour and for the first time, I stood on my own for a few seconds, while being able to support myself in the parallel bars, with no assistance. I also am doing better at sitting myself up, but still working at it. Thank you for the support.

Going good. We worked shoulder's, chest, core, back and tricep's. We did push up's and bench press. We added more weight to the bench press. I did arm fly's and we added more weight also, I did really well with both. I also was able to lean forward and put my chest on my knee's, while sitting on the mat, with no assistance. I was able to control myself, as I went down, nice and slow and controlled. Then for the first time, I pushed myself up from my knees, to a sitting position, only did it 3 times on my own, then did it with minimal assistance. I'm super sore and love it. Thank You for all of your continued support.

A little better. We worked core, shoulder's and back. We added more weight and reps to the shoulder exercise, I can for surely feel it. My core and trunk control are getting better. My upper back muscles are improving, but still need attention. We worked out a couple of
knots in my shoulder. I stood for an hour, but my hips were all over the place, other than that it went well. Thanks for the continued support.

Well said. This week we worked back, lats, shoulder's and worked on rolling. The back exercises are going well, still a work in progress. My rolling has improved to the right. The left we are still working on, but I can do a couple reps on my own and the rest with minimal assistance. I was asked to talk to the OT students at MOTT college this week. I talked about my injury and my recovery and what struggles I have with my fingers and wrists. I enjoyed it and was surprised how involved the students got when it came to feeling the tightness in my fingers. The OT professor has asked me to come back in the spring and again next year, to talk to her students.
I am very thankful for all of your continued support. Thank You

Doing good. We worked the core, shoulder's and back. We added more weight to a couple exercises, along with a few more reps. I lowered myself down, with my chest on my knees and pushed myself back up 4 times, to a sitting position, with no assistance. I also transferred myself from my chair to the bed 3 times this week, by myself. I've gotten better at pushing myself up, from leaning on my elbow, to a sitting position. The left wrist isn't as tight and were getting more extension out of it. Thank You, everybody for the continued support. I could not do any of this, with out your continued support. Thank you.

very kewl

I'll take it. We worked the core, shoulders,rolling, back and LEGS!! We added more weight to a couple different shoulder exercises and my arms were jello. The core is getting stronger and stronger. My rolling, has come along way, still need assistance, but less and less and I'm able to do alot of it. The back is still a work in progress. We used E Stem, which sends electric pulses to activate the muscles, on my legs. This was the first time we tried this, on my legs. To our surprise, the muscles responded rather quickly and with little assistance from my therapist, my legs went from bent to extended, in a controlled motion. So we did a couple sets and had no issues. Thank you everybody, for your on going support.

Updates? How ya doin?

[Clinker]

Well my New Yr didn't exactly start as planned. I ended up in the hospital, due to a badly infected UTI, which caused me to have a fever of 105.5. I was in from the 1st to 10th. They pumped me full of antibiotics, still on a couple. Then my blood pressure was through the roof, so now it goes from extremely low to extremely high. To top it all off, my phone got a virus and won't turn on past the start up screen. So to all that, I say fukc you beginning of January. Bring on the rest of the month. I'm doing better now, still fighting it a little. I'm going back to therapy Tuesday, time to get back to work.

Rough start. After a hospital trip and a 9 day stay. My new yr didn't start exactly as planned. BUT!! two days after being out of the hospital, I started my therapy back up and was able to go all week. I was very sore and lost some strength, but it felt great to be back at it. Thank You EVERYBODY for all the thoughts, prayers and concern.
