Thanks From Markb

Well, today is my LAST day in rehab.......a day of some mixed emotions for sure. I want to get back to my normal life, but I also fear that being away from this place will mean an end to my improvements.....I have to make myself carry on working hard at home, without all the expensive rehab help...



Anyway - good news: they found trace movements in my "missing muslces". The hamstrings and glutes seem to show some signs of life on both sides....this is big. With enough work, they might get strong enough to lift me.....dunno, but it is all very tantalizing....


Right, again, thanks everyone SO much for the support. I cant wait to see you all at the track real soon.....:up:

 

Keep thinking positive and making good progress mark!

 

keep up the hard work mark

 

Great things take time. Keep at it :up:

 

You have come so far, keep up the hard work.

 

Hit it hard, Mark!
:up:

 

good news! keep up the hard work - we are all praying for ya. can't wait to see you in September - if we dont get to Atlanta/Rome before then.

 

Mark-

I remember my first day returning home defiantely mixed feelings. You'll be so happy at home though man. Are you doing any outpatient rehab? I figured you would be since you have trace of movement. Get in a Pool if you can thats the best way to work those leg muscles!

 

awesome mark! you better be at the track soon.

 

Mark, that is awesome news! You just made my day! I know you can do it.

 

Great news! Keep up the hard work.

 

Awesome news Mark!!!!!! Keep fighting, you can, and WILL, overcome this!!!!!!

 

You're right Mark that is HUGE! Congratulations! Don't minimize it with the "well someday maybe" stuff. You keep having miracle after miracle. You keep receiving blessing after blessing (life spared, small movements, legs begin to work after they said they never would, married to a beautiful girl who has supported you through all of this, quite possibly the largest support-friend network of anyone at Shepherds, etc.) NOW you have movement in the very muscles that a week ago you said you Hoped would wake up someday!! I'm not trying to preach, I just want you to realize that a lot of people have been praying for you and you just keep receiving miracle after miracle!!! Just Praise the Lord, and keep on working hard.

Now get back to work & no more "Maybe, someday, with enough work, but I don't know" crap

 

Now look what you did, you're making John use dirty words like crap. :wow:

Keep it up Mark, you've got a lot of fans backing you. :up:

 

Thinking about you every day. You CAN DO THIS!!!!!

 

...well, there is such a thing as "tempting fate".....I'm fighting hard, but I"m very careful about making predictions to the future....

And thanks again everyone I'm back home now, and things are getting better one day at a time. I went back to Pirelli to visit, and it was GREAT to see everyone....even if they do want me back slaving at my desk asap....:wow:

 

Mark, not a day goes by that im not thinking about you, my friend, not one day. :up:

 

Thanks Todd...thanks. You have been a true friend.
