I went to the beach today - and normally, when I do, I walk on the sand to work on my balance. Today, I tried to jog and met with some success. More form than actual jogging, but I think in the 13 blocks I covered on the sand, I jogged about 2 of them - on and off, of course. I could only jog a short distance before I felt I would lose control and fall, and could not move very fast, but it was on the soft sand, after all.
I'm pretty happy with the way my walk went today - perhaps, soon, I will walk further on the sand, and maybe jog further and faster - maybe even have a sprint.
In June 2012, I contracted viral meningitis. I ended up paralyzed and on a respirator. There was some doubt that I would walk again, and if so, it would take two years for me to walk "normal enough," but I was able to do so in one year. I am still improving, for I am not completely recovered. This blog is to chronicle my experience recovering from spinal cord injury and pass along inspirational stories of others who faced medical situations.
