Not to rain on your parade but also want to be realistic. I had encephalomyelits 7 years ago. I was paralyzed from the neck down and got movement bad except for T7 down. Months later I could flex the quad muscles in my thigh and have faint sensation. I haven't gotten anymore back since. The cut off they say for recovery is 2 years so don't lose hope and if you can move something, keep moving it. That is what I was told. The therapist said be sure not to fatigue the muscles though. I hope the turn out is different for you than me. Stacy
