Now that I have the pons device (Portable neuromodulation stimulator device) for my hopeful recovery of my balance, stability and mobility, I am using it for between 5-6 twenty minute exercise sessions, 6 days a week. Please see my separate blog post specifically about the pons device if you want more details.
It is a demanding exercise schedule. However, I have managed to do it and not miss any days. This will be a long, hard fourteen weeks. However, if it really does restore my mobility, it will have been worth all of the time, effort and expense. I am still working on regaining my normal speech (although I have come a long way) but regaining my full mobility will give me a degree of freedom that I have not experienced in six years.
I am enjoying getting to spend time not only with my mom but also with Jenny and Eliana Valentina, along with all of Jenny's family as well. I am truly one of the luckiest men alive and I am grateful for every day that I get to spend above ground. Life is hard, but nothing that I want to do is impossible. There are so many people out there who are much worse off than me. I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
Til next time, Tyler
We're very hopeful about the progress that the PoNS unit will allow. Keep on working your program. Love you, mom
