Alex will walk again

a double FES session 12.6miles with my arms - tomorrow legs and arms, plus my bath should turn up, today i also did my isqueez

On Friday i went up to London, so no pt (shhh.. but a very welcome break) and with the increased strength and stamina i found it so much easier around the shops, then Saturday had physio with Steve, started off a bad session.. the idea was to stand with the parallel bars, but due to unforeseen problems did a wobbly but independent transfer into the standing chair and stood with just the knee block, using core strength to pull away from the chair and test my balance.. following this had more work done on my back

another day on the bike building up strength, stamina and muscle mass, keeps the blood pumping and my bone density in good order.. tomorrow i’m up to London so probably wont get the time, but that is good.. constant exercise can do harm.. you need rest periods in between therapy

“The past is gone.. and each day just slips away - Do something with your life.. no-one knows whats coming tomorrow”

I have now proven that i’ve graduated from any further physio that can be done (other then the routines i can do myself) until i’m in the new build when my next stage in my recovery is my first step.. then my second.. then… you get the drift - alexwillwalkagain! -physio went really well today,followed by 12.6miles with my arm bike, now (until in the new build) im down to one day a week with Stephen Barwise along with my bike inbetween.

C5/C6 tetraplegic incomplete - believe in yourself.. you know your own body! i’ve thrown those medical boundries aside - so can you..

If those boundries were a duck!

I am alexwillwalkagain and i WILL walk AGAIN

On Dec 14th 2006 i was injured, now im recovering.. then i will walk again

6.3miles again then a spin round my house - the FES bike is such a great piece of equipment, physio tomorrow with Stephen Barwise

sponsorship - to increase the speed of my recovery i need money “money stops the recovery” i can (and will) continue as i am.. as i improve i gain more energy, more stamina.. so need more to do.. each day (as documented) i am moving further and getting stronger.. my new house will have the space for me to excel.. as i’ve said repetition is key, i have now doubled the mileage on my bike, the weather is turning and preventing me swimming, it’s now 03:28 and i’m still awake… leaving hospital i was on enough drugs to keep an elephant sedated.. i’ve gone from “you will never” to “when you walk” i’m bringing myself off those drugs (with some medical advice..), i died 6 times.. i didn’t come back just to waste away in bed staring at the ceiling, not many people get a second chance at life - i don’t want to waste the time i have..

i need to speed things up

So if anyone wishes to sponsor me to walk again then please step forward

THANK YOU

Don’t look at what you could do before - it’s to late.. look at what you can do NOW, dont think about where you “could go”… just GO, dont think about what was - your facing what IS..

Believe in yourself your the only one who truely CAN

Time never stands still….

Tick Tock!

i’ve done 12.6miles again on the arm bike, (repetition is the key) along with some very independent transfers plus a double session on the isqueez
