Well I finally have some movement in a lower limb. I can move my left leg. It is a very small movement but it is something, and I have to start somewhere. If my left leg is barely bent, I can move it straight. I have to admit I secretly practiced for a couple of days before I shared the news with anybody. It seems like sometimes I think I can do something but I would rather be sure before everybody gets overexcited. It is official though, it is me and I am moving it. My leg is still very weak, and I can only straighten it a couple times before the muscle fatigues completely. It will take a lot of short repetitions to build the strength up in my leg again. Hopefully, if I just keep at it one muscle at a time my leg will regain strength. It's pretty exciting, and now I feel I really have something to work with. Hopefully the progress will continue, and I won't complain if it's at a quicker pace this next year.
