Congrats on the recovery, and much respect for your efforts. Back in September I suffered a spinal injury due to disc compression and woke up from the surgery initially not being able to use my hands and paralysis in my legs. I'm returning to work Monday, and though I still rely on a walker a bit, I'm back to managing with just a cane as well, driving myself to p.t., etc. It's a tough pill to swallow in those first days, but neuroplasticity is a reality, yet medicine has only been really aware of it since the latter half of the last century. They told me 'maybe in twelve months', I got there in less than six.
Like you, I chose to fight, work hard, (...and take in Moon's creative audio offerings...) and let the chips fall where they may. Slowly things came back on line, and the more I regained control, the harder I pushed, and the harder I pushed, the more I regained, rinse, repeat. Either you buy into the opportunity, or you don't, but sadly, it doesn't always work out for some as I witnessed too many times.
Your story 'struck a chord'
with me because I get it, and am totally stoked for you. Keep pushing yourself to surpass your previous abilities.....PROPS!
