Spending
all my waking hours in my desolate solitude, I’ve created arithmetic equalization
that defines my frustrated status of constant frustration and never-ending
hope, that’s W = W or that by learning to walk
again I can return to work again, and on the walking concept I put here a video
of myself training in a gym few years ago with specialists in physical therapy
dedicated to TBI victims that while they were all good and experienced couldn’t
make me walk again.
It turns
out (see
links) that for TBI
victims balance and muscles tone is a very common issue and while now I’m sure
that I no longer have issues with my balance, I lost tone not only in the
muscles of my leg, but the muscles in the back that help to sustain the erected
posture when walking and therefore help the movement forward of the leg.
In addition
there’s the recent fall with the fracture of my left femur that resulted in a
complex surgery (52
stitches) that put steel
bar along the entire femur that’s attached to my back with 3 steel screws 6
inches long at least.
I must
admit that when I saw the X-rays of my left leg I was very impressed and I immediately
thought to the alarm of metal detectors people must walk through in airport.
However,
where I’m living now I’ve been threatened that if I ever fall again I’m going
to have 3 days to leave the place, so whenever I want/need to transfer from the
wheelchair anywhere else I must call someone to look and eventually help me in
my transfer.
Regardless
of all of this I’ve been training to rebuild my leg and back muscles with 2
physical therapists who come to my room twice a week and taught me some exercises
to do by myself when they aren’t with me.
My goal is
not only to get back to working again, but to bring my princess daughter G. to
Verona next summer to meet the Italian side of her family and become very
fluent in Italian.
When we’ll
be back here I’m planning to get back to work by September and show that TBI
recovery is yet something else that can’t be called impossible,
as I’ve been saying for decades the impossible doesn’t exist, it’s just a matter
of attitude and willingness to work hard.
Anyway, a small PayPal donation would be immensely helpful and very much appreciated.
