Picture Your Life 90 Days From Now
It's Tuesday morning, three months from today.
You look down at your legs and see definition. Actual muscle tone instead of the thin, wasted appearance that's haunted you since your injury.
You perform your morning transfer - smooth, controlled, confident. Your upper body isn't compensating for completely atrophied legs anymore.
When your caregiver arrives, something is different.
The transfers are easier. Your legs have substance again. There's visible muscle where there was only skin and bone.
Throughout the day, you notice the victories:
- Your legs maintaining muscle mass instead of continuing to waste away
- Feeling contractions when the pad stimulates - your legs responding again
- Transfers that don't leave your caregiver exhausted
- Looking in the mirror and seeing your legs look alive, not dead
Most importantly, you see the change in how you feel about yourself.
No longer watching helplessly as your body deteriorates. No longer feeling like a complete burden. No longer seeing nothing but atrophy ahead.
Instead, you see evidence that you can fight back. That your legs can stay strong. And something you thought was impossible: hope that you can maintain what you have.
This isn't fantasy. This is what happens when paralyzed leg muscles that have been electrically starved finally get the stimulation they need to stay alive.
