keep Rocco Horvath in your thoughts

Excellent write up on Rocco. It is so true to not believe what the doctors say. The first neurosurgeon said I was a complete injury and Asia A rating (worst there is). He told this to my wife and she said I don't believe you and you don't know my husband. I quickly progressed to an incomplete injury and Asia B rating (probably due to all the thoughts and prayers I have received).

Second neurosurgeon said I won't tell you you will never walk again but don't be too optimistic. Yea right, whatever. I pretty much ignored that.

I can now very slightly move a few muscles below my waist which would make me an Asia C rating. They put me on the MotoMed bike Monday. It cycles between motor driven and then patient pedal driven. I was able to push the pedals through about 3 very slow cycles. I wish I had one of these machines at home because I would be on the thing as much as I could tolerate.

Rocco, if you read this, keep doing what you are doing. At your age, healing is much faster than at my 47 years of age. Things will come back, we just don't know when that it will be.

 

Happy Thanksgiving Rocco!
