I had my LAST physical therapy appointment today for my brachial plexus injury. I am very happy to report that I have made amazing progress and know that God has answered the many prayers that have gone up on my behalf. I left my first therapy appointment holding back tears because of the realization of how great a deficit I had in my right hand and the news that this injury could take months or even a year to heal and it may never be completely the way it was. I left today's appointment feeling thrilled. My grip in my right hand has gone from 11 pounds of force to 55 pounds. My left hand grip went from 51 pounds of force to 75 pounds. There were also huge improvements on the other tests he did as well. I still have some numbness and will continue to work on strength training at home but these results are considered functional for most things.
I have also felt really good today. I was actually away from home today from nine to six doing various things and did well.
Thanks for all of the love and support.
