Sorry that it has taken me so long to blog again. I was on vacation and then started classes at Gustavus so I am getting used to a new schedule.
The big news I wanted to share is that I was chosen to be a part of the Activity-Based Locomotor Excercise (ABLE) at the Courage Center. This machine gave me a chance to walk again for the first time since my accident. It felt amazing to be upright and moving again. Usually the patients that use this therapy try to stay up walking for 40 to 45 minutes, but during my first time I was able to stay up for 55 minutes. The therapists seemed very impressed. I didnt think it was tiring while I was walking but when I got home I napped for 2.5 hours! I am hoping to do this therapy once a week as it is great for my body. Check out the video and let me know what you think.
Walking
Look forward to posts about our trip to Vegas and my school experience. I will be better about posting! Hope that you all had a great weekend!
That is AMAZING!!! I honestly believe that you will walk with no help someday in the near future. Bren you are such an inspiration to so many people. Keep up the good work!
