Hi Everyone, (Sorry to take up so much space, it is just easier to post the whole group.)
I am doing great!!! I am even typing with both hands again! Yep, way ahead of schedule! My adhesions are breaking apart naturally now as well, so that is amazing! I can not thank everyone enough for all of the phone calls, forum shout outs, profile emails and private emails. We truly have an exceptionally special class!!! :o) We bought a NU-Step machine (stair climber you sit down and use and works legs and arms) after the accident 5 years ago, so I will start to use that again later today. My PT right now is using that and working on basic mechanics of stepping forward with my Dad. I have been in PT for 5 years so I know the drill. :o) I had a structured out patient program for 4 years and an at home program for a year. Oh, my head is almost perfectly straight and I can lift the left arm almost straight up right now. YEEE HAW!! Eyes are both open as well and I can still smile! So that is fantastic. Next will be to get rid of the jaw appliance in time and get rid of my HKAFO extended hip leg immobilizer. Right now, I will happily settle for just getting out of this dumb chair and using a walker. I can and will do it!!! THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR ALL OF THE WELL WISHES! I AM DOING GREAT!!! :o)
Hugs and LOVE~ Sheri (I can't wait to hug you all in person)
