Making Progress At Sci-Step

Tim H · 06-30-2004, 02:39 PM

My name is Tim H. I'm a T-11, T-12 level of injury. I've been at Sci-step for 2 1/2 weeks and I took my first steps on June 28th.This is something I was not able to do before going there.
I can ride the stationary bike for an hour now when I first started there I could only do 20 minutes.
The sci-step staff is very focused on getting as much function back as possible.They are really great people and I couldn't have asked to be at a better place.
I'm very satisifed with the progress I made so far and I hope to make more.

Tim, you are truly an inspriation for me. If I did not see your progress with my own eyes, I would not believe it to be so. I cannot wait to see what you accomplish next. Please keep up the hard work.

Tim,
Thank you for the kind words. The reason that each of us are inspired to get up in the morning is to be surrounded by dedicated and amazing individuals like yourself!

The steps that I witnessed this week were incredible and I know it is just the beginning!

Keep pushing!

Michele

Well, I did it again 250 feet and a 100 good ones on my own with only a walker. It takes alot of hard work and dedication and yet I still dont know how this is possible but as they say at sci -step don't ask why just try.I know that I have A long ways to go and I am still very paralyzed but willing to try.

So I go out of town for the weekend and not only did you increase from 11ft. to 250ft. but upon my return, walked 500ft. right in front of me!! You rock Tim!

Rocky-

If you can just walk your butt from the car into Wal-Mart, your quality (or ease) of life potential must triple. Keep it up.
