My Mom got me out of the car and I met Nick just inside Barwis. He pushed me over to the blue table, wiped it down, and worked my legs as I sat in my chair. He said that my legs felt looser than they did on Monday. Megan came by while I was still in wheelchair to show me her socks. It WAS “Wacky Sock Wednesday” #24:
I had the “Hamburgler” socks. Nick helped me on to the table and he worked my left leg and Heather worked my right. The stretch was a little intense but I understood that it would be a little rough only for a little while, then my legs would loosen up. Heather had me lay on my stomach and had me do some PNFs. I didn’t realize until Nick came back with the harness that I was squatting. But I didn’t squat on Monday so…
Heather held my feet as Nick pushed me to the Keiser machine. I did 3 sets of squats for a total of 45. Nick was happy with my progress. I started squatting with 100% air but I ended using 80%. I pointed out to Nick and Heather that I MAY have done better because I was wearing a “Michigan’ shirt opposed o my NORMAL “Squatting Shirt” (my Central shirt). Nick half-smiled a chuckled a little and Heather told me, “whatever I need to believe.” Nick told me that he liked doing less reps with not as much air and fist bumped me as I finished. I was a little tired but put my arms up and, “Woo”ed on my way down the ramp. Madison was walking by and heard me and laughed.
My Mom was in the front part of the facility talking with Elle and picking up my “1% Day” shirts. i got one for my Mom, Sean, and me. My Mom liked her shirt partly because it’s for Brock. She knows how much he is an inspiration for me and walking. When we left, she helped me into the car and she said that my legs were REALLY loose. My hamstrings hurt a little Wednesday night and today and my feet felt REALLY hot last night. Sean put an ice pack on them and rubbed them a bit as I was falling asleep. He laughed because my toes were twitching really fast. It was a little uncomfortable as I fell asleep but I haven’t even FELT my feet in SO LONG so It made me EXCITED!
