My prevailing message continues to resonate with a resounding, "I will walk again." That deeply rooted belief even after these last almost five years will not escape me. I have too much riding on my ability to regain my independence. Last week while finishing up my last few sessions of in patient rehab at Kessler Institute in West Orange, NJ I nearly bumped wheels with Eric LeGrand the young college football player paralyzed last October while playing during the Rutgers-Army football game. I wanted to talk but he was speaking with a therapist. Maybe while going to out-patient I'll get to meet him very soon. A few days later he was in my hometown inspiring the young people to never give up. He told the students "I will walk again. I don't know when, but when I do, there's going to be a huge party in New Jersey." My belief and sentiments also young man. WITH UNSHAKABLE DETERMINATION, KEEP THE FAITH!
