I just moved my left foot and wiggled my toes for the first time.

Alright so a lot of people are against sharing the medications they have taken, I really do not care. Since my injury I have taken various medication for various purposes and have come to the conclusion that in the scope of a spinal cord inury, most medications (that I have taken) are intended for something else, but have other applications in an SCI. For me, a lot of these medications work at first (the first few weeks) and then for some reason really did nothing after that.

Last Friday I had my second session at Project Walk. During this session we primarily focused on strengthening my quads. I started doing some squats to strengthen my quads and work on locking and unlocking my knee, then the trainers helped me stand up, with one trainer locking my left knee and the other was helping my balance and supporting some of my weight. I did this exercise for a while, really working my quads which my right quad hurt for a few days afterwards as this was the first time I really strenuously strengthened this muscle.
 

A therapy for acute spinal cord injuries developed by a UC Irvine scientist will become the world’s first clinical trial of a treatment using human embryonic stem cells.

On Thursday, December 27 I had my first session at Project Walk. A few days before that I started gait training by not using my right KAFO brace and re-training myself using the natural motions of walking, which was really weird as I have not done this in almost a year and a half.
 

On December 18, 2012 I was able to kick out my left leg, the first time I was able to do so since my injury. This is very exciting for me!
