Oh my goodness, Jim, I am so happy for you. And yes I will openly admit I cried too! Tears of such joy that after 20+ years you could move your thumb. I'm sorry you have such pain in your lower back though. All of this makes we wonder what all of our great neuros might have to say about this. They must be in awe as well. Wow what incredible news. I loved the video. Great job!

The past two weeks I started feeling a tingling in my right lower back. When I feel this I am able to move my left thumb! It's been 20 yrs, 4 mos since I was paralyzed from the neck down due to TM. When I recline the tingling stops and I can not move my thumb no matter how much I try to. To show that I was actually moving and not just having involuntary twitching, I had my nurse tell me when to move and I moved it.
