Good work keep it up

Great news! Im proud of you for your spirit and determination.

Good luck with the rehab!:)

hey everyone :), thanks for the comments and support as always!

i just wanted to post a few more details...not to have confused anybody, i cannot walk on my own just for those that may have been confused. however, with legs braces i can swing my hips and shift my weight to move. but the contraction in my quadriceps is certainly a break through. it is very slight but definilty existant. when i try to contract them if you squeeze my legs you can feel them move just a little but it isn't strong enough to see it move yet. however, if they progress in the manner that my hips have (3 weeks to gain about 15-20% movement) then that will certainly lead to me walking in the near future. however, spinal cord injuries are extremely unprictdable. this could be a peak in my healing process or i could continue to heal or even heal faster, there's no telling.

i just walked again today on leg braces with the walker. i didn't do so well because my tripces have developed some tight spots and it takes every bit of energy to lift my weight off the ground to swing my hips.

i'll keep you posted throughout the next couple weeks as to if and how much stronger the contractions become. thanks everyone! ttyl

Thats awesome awesome news Anthony... Keep up the hard work!! My prayers are still with you and your family!!

Cant wait to see you on a quad again good luck with it all
