Yeah, I was wiggling kind of all of my fingers to see if anything would happen. There was a lot of other things going on, but that big yellow spike was the one that stood out to me. I'm sure that if I would have stared at it long enough, I could have mapped out maybe 100 different things, but the big yellow spike was the one that I noticed.

Pretty easy for me. It's something that At the very beginning after my accident, they told me to try and move my body as much as possible even if you can't, just keep trying because that's going to create new neural pathways or pathways in my spinal cord to reconnect these things to hopefully regain some movement someday.

Yeah, I know. It's bizarre.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

It starts reconnecting. And that's about it. I can, if I try enough, I can wiggle some of my fingers, not like on command. It's more like if I try to move, say my right pinky and I just keep trying to move it after a few seconds, it'll wiggle. So I know there's stuff there. Like I know like, and that happens with, you know, a few different of my fingers and stuff.

Um, but yeah, that's, that's what they tell you to do. Um, one of the people at the time when I was in the hospital came in and told me for one guy who had recovered, um, most of his control, what he thought about every day was actually walking like the act of walking, um, just over and over again. So I tried that for years. I try just imagining walking, which is, it's hard. It's hard to

imagine like all of the steps that go into well taking a step like all of the things that have to move like all the activations that have to happen along your leg in order for one step to occur but you're not just imagining you're like doing it right i'm trying yeah so it's like it's imagining over again what I had to do to take a step. Because it's not something any of us think about.
