Well we had a rough night last night, Sandra's tone was bad and wouldn't stop made for difficulty sleeping. It is a crazy injury as it affects everything, nothing is as it was and spirits are being tested. Now this morning Sandra had her assessment and had some good results. Her core is getting stronger probably 2/3rds of what it was. What I have learned is it all starts with the core.
Sandra's hip flexors are stronger and she was able to contract her glutes (butt). This is exciting as it is a new muscle found and her recovery is moving down as anticipated. The next find we need is for the quads as that extends the knee and with alot of stregth gain this will allow her to stand.

ReplyDeleteHi Mike & Sandra.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the tough realities of your journey ... I cried when I watched the videos of Sandra working so hard with her exercises.
May our God who gives endurance continue to strengthen in body, mind & spirit.
May you both feel the comfort of His Sweet Presence cheering you on & carrying you especially at those moments when exhaustion hits hard.
