Wheelchair to Walking! (T12-L2 incomplete)

Praise God 🙌

[@ashleysavoie8789]

Watching these videos bring back so many memories. So proud of your hard work, determination, and positive attitude during this time. What this video doesn’t portray is a year of therapy 2-3 times a week at first. A month in the hospital. 2 weeks at TIRR. You’ve had the most amazing care. So proud of your strength and progress.

WOW! Truly amazing. I too am an incomplete T12. Post 22 years. I went though all stages in your video at rehab. back brace, parallel bars, down to AFO's and forearm crutches. I can walk but not for long distances and I still need forearm crutches. I am very very thankful for what returned for mobility, bowels and bladder. Hard work, perseverance pays off. Keep going strong!

[@tylersavoie7750]

That’s amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!

I am also t 12 incomplete. since 20 years. After many exercices I can now walk with braces but I must use crutches. You you walk without crutches. Bravo Tyler

[@celestinegardener]

You look like me at the 7min mark and I am a year in as well at T12. Thank you for the inspiration as I am hoping to walk like you eventually

Im in tears. Im so happy for you. My daughter was in a terrible car accident three weeks ago and is now in rehab. She is considered in complete paraplegic. She has lots of feeling in her thighs and some in her calves, but hasn’t moved her toes yet and hasn’t been able to lift her legs she had a T12 vertebrae break. What are your legs paralyzed at first and where are you able to wiggle your toes?

[@tylersavoie7750]

I am very sad to hear that she was in an accident. She is in my prayers. I hope that she has a good recovery! I was completely paralyzed at first. Couldn’t move or feel anything. I first got my quads back. I can’t wiggle my toes and nothing really below my knees work.

[@ms.gemini4657]

You are such an inspiration to others. These past few weeks have been a wild range of emotions for me. I was in a dark place but now I’m starting to see the light. It’s very scary! She’ll be coming home with me because she can’t return to her townhome which has stairs, so she’ll be with me for a while, She’ll have outpatient therapy. I’m really hoping to find a really good rehab facility. She’s a former dancer so her body and movement is everything to her. I am just grateful that she’s alive and has the function of her arms and has no brain damage. She’s doing a great job in rehab and has a positive mindset. My goal is to see her upright and I know it’s gonna take time. She has to learn to straight Cath herself and needs help with herself etc… Hopefully all of that will come back to her. Please keep making these videos because you bring hope .God bless you.

@@tylersavoie7750 that’s amazing, I’m T12 incomplete as well, 5 months post injury and walking on double crutches and bilateral AFOs now, did your ankle movement come back after some time? Or you can still walk unaided without ankle movement but with solid AFOs?
