It has been a super long time since I wrote here but today i felt inspired.
It has been almost 2 1/2 years since i was in India for a treatment and I was always wondering how i would go without having to be back there? Things have definately changed in huge bounds since then!! I walk soooooooo much better and many things have improved. Although, in the last 6 months I have plateaued and feel like I might need to go back?
Over the last 2 1/2 years I have seen better control in movement and a stronger body that didnt even function before i started this whole process. Examples are my ability to stand on my knees and get up off the floor from a kneeing position (that is on knees only with only hands on chair or other object for balance) and push up and twist onto my wheelchair. There has also been more toe movement. I also have a stronger bladder function with longer notice and some control. I don't use catheters. And no more UTI's for about 3 years!!!
So when I look back and think about what I have done and what has transpired I say wow! what an adventure and has it been worth it.... ABSOLUTELY! I don't know how far things will continue to improve and this may be it and that is somewhat fine with me (everyone always wants more) as the treatments have made my life so much better for daily function. I have seen that working on my own is slow and I do need more neuro-physio but i can get change on my own.
Will another treatment occur? will it make further changes?... probably.... but i need the funds. Time will tell...
In the mean time i need to focus back onto hard working Physio as I have slacked off in the last little while with all the moving around and not finding the right help.
So if you are ever considering doing the HeSC treatment i highly recommend it!
