Thanks
I just want to thank you guys for the support over the last few months. I have had a lot of well wishes and so fourth and I really appericate it. For thouse who want to know I took my first step today. (A little over a year). I was fitted with an artifical leg a month ago and took a step today. Will I be able to walk more then a few steps who knows it just felt so good to stand it is hard to describe. I wish my brain would get back to where it was but don't think that will happen. I know I have a long way to go but Damn it felt so good. Again thanks again for the well wishes the thoughs and thinking about me.

After getting through what you've gone through I'm sure taking that first step was quite satisfying. One step closer to getting behind the wheel of your vette where you belong

Thanks for updating us on the progress. Hope your road to recovery continues going well. Your brain may just heal as it adapts. I've seen numerous studies showing the brain can adapt and work around some really tough circumstances, it just takes time to rewire, so be patient with yourself! PS: Keep us posted!
