Ran with a shoulder sling yesterday... first run in 5 weeks. Kind of weird running with one arm, but sooo nice to be back on the road again. Occupational therapy fitted me for a sling today that will keep my shoulder in place, but let me have a natural arm swing. Going to Myrtle Beach Marathon in Fe...

Good news and bad this week. Five weeks since the injury, 4 since the surgery. Right hand grip strength has improved from half of the left to almost equal. Numbness in the right hand has decreased substantially. Bad news is that those nerves come out at C7. C6 muscles (deltoids and some biceps) show...

Good news from the physical therapist today...evidence that some nerves are firing in almost all the affected muscles, just not enough to move without help.

Thanks, all the Doc will allow me to do since the surgery is walk, but I hhope to able to start running and lifting by early August.

Don't remember Labier...Doc McCLaren was our platoon medic in late 79 or early 80. Did you know Navarro or Selmer Hyde in C Co?

Anybody have any recent experience with rehabbing from a spinal cord injury? After all the dangerous shit I have done, on duty and off in the last 32 years, and walked away from, I end up with a fucking SCI after coming around a corner on my mountain bike on an urban, paved trail and running head-on...

I say let those idiots sell their right to vote. If we can keep paring idiots of the voter rolls, maybe we'd get some senators and representatives who are more than campaign donation whores.

Welcome. Defeating "severe laziness and lack of motivation" sounds like a good first step toward your gaol.
