[Neuro]

How are you feeling?

 

[Poppy]

Actually pretty good. My upper feels outstanding.

Lower is getting there. Strength is coming back but there’s definitely damage done. My left outer quad sweep is shrinking pretty fast. My right inner calf is gone.

My stride is very good with brace and getting better without it. I’ve been doing the pt recommended exercises and I’ve gotten some upper flexion back on my left foot including the big piggy…but the 4 smaller piggies are pretty much gone. The pretty much just hang. I can scrunch them but can’t lift them at all.

 

[Poppy]

I’ve been reading up on older adult/athlete/meathead mobility and one of the big things was stretching and ONE stupid thing that I took for granted…. Getting down and up from the floor… with minimal help from any object.

My message to everyone is get down and up (floor/ground) pretty regularly. I promise you that this will serve you well as you age. I do it a couple of times every evening watching tv. It’s getting a bit easier now. I’m trying to reverse 3 years of avoiding it.

 

[Neuro]

Keep chipping away at the wheels. Progress is progress!

How many Iu’s are you using on average?

 

[Neuro]

I was literally just looking up mobility programs. I want to be able to move and be big.

 

[Poppy]

2-3. Some days 2.something , some 3…

 

[Poppy]

I want to be able to move and be big.

Smart man. It will escape you quickly. I find shoveling racking etc helps. I just axed some bushes out of the ground and that felt good.
