3 months since treatment

So 3 months since treatment I feel I have better digestion and maybe 10% bowel control now.  I believe sensation has returned maybe 2-3 inches on both sides of my trunk.  Pain is still constant but now varies from burning/tingling to burning numbness and occasional sharp pains on the trunk.

Last days and return

Friday received last injection and IV.

Returned to NJ Saturday night.

Normally I heard people see results in 1-3 months and the cells work up to 6-9 months.

Easter Weekend - Today

Did nothing easter weekend.

Today I continued using the parallel bars in physical therapy to hold myself up in standing position.

I received a double dose of injections today.  I took a painkiller as a precaution and will probably need to take another tonight or tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow is a 2 hr session in physical therapy.

Weds

Took another painkiller this morning due to headache.

My therapist said she could feel some faint muscle contractions in my thigh today and I agree.  I have a stronger mental connection to my right thigh and we can feel a slightly stronger contraction there.

No spinal injection today, just an extra dose of IV so I don't have to worry about a headache tonight.

After each injection I have to lay flat in bed for 3-4 hours.  This is the view:

Tuesday

More pain last night after the injection.  Took another painkiller his morning.

2 hours of therapy was tough, I eventually got light-headed.  Had another injection today and then one more this week tomorrow.

In retrospect this is an awkard Pistorius Nike ad:

Weekend Update and Monday

Friday night was the most pain I felt in awhile. I took a painkiller sat morning.  Otherwise weekend was quiet

Today I had the 5th injection and 3rd IV.  Tomorrow is a double 2 hr session in physical therapy and the 6th injection.

I think there might be some new burning sensations in new places on my leg.
