Last Thursday was an amazing  day.  I had a really good workout with both Elena and Jeremy at Project Walk.  Elena had me doing arm work the first hour, then Jeremy had me on the red table working my legs the second. As usual, he would ask me how I was feeling then, more specifically, would ask where I was feeling the movement was originating from. I remember telling him I felt I was connecting really well—better than I had in the past—because I felt I did know where it was originating. I remember telling him I found it odd that I could feel my left leg was stronger doing some movements than my right. I felt both legs were actually doing really well, just that they were oddly mismatched. Hold that thought…

After Project Walk, Jay and I then jetted downtown  to OHSU's Health and Healing Center for my 1:30PM appointment, to use something called Lokomat.  You definitely have to check it out;   http://www.ohsu.edu/health/page.cfm?id=13701  I worked with Marvin Smith, D.P.T., one of OHSU's lead neurological therapists, the physical therapist highlighted in this video clip.  Marvin then set me up using the Lokomat.  The device is absolutely amazing. They strap your legs into this machine then, after given cues you focus on moving as instructed. And the absolutely mind blowing thing is that the machine’s calculations showed my body moving the exact same muscles as Jeremy and I said we were moving, earlier this same day! When Marvin was doing the intake and doing a manual examination before they strapped me into the machine, and both he and another PT there were very positive, saying, “Oh yeah, you definitely have motion happening.” Marvin wants me to come three days a week. They’re pretty booked, so currently  I have only two more appointments scheduled. But it’s definitely going to happen.  I'm still going to Project Walk (which is why I have to raise some money so if anyone reading feels like making a tax deductible donation, feel free to do so here on my super secure site!;-) Jay, the super originator of my super secure site (as well as my super sexy finance, bit I digress)  is also working on a new video for the site so... stay tuned for further enlightenment! (believe it or not that's a hint, of what's yet to come...) ;-)
