From Jenny 8/22

An excerpt from Jenny's blog...

Today Wednesday I made great progress. I think it was just because I decided to focus on trying to gain as much independence as I can in the body I have now, rather than worrying about how I used to be or speculating about what progress I will make and when.
So, today I started trying to do a bunch of things without worrying about success or failure. I succeeded in moving my right pinky for the first time. I also figured out how to turn my wheel chair off as well as how to turn off the light switch to my room. I'm not there yet when it comes to turning on the wheel chair -- the toggle switch to power the chair is in a very tricky spot. I tried but haven't yet figured out how to punch an elevator button yet, but I have learned how to ask for help so I can get from one floor to the next in this 3 story building. And, of course I did my usual stunts in Ot and PT. All and all a great day.
...Love, Jenny

Thanks for pointing out the missing link: somehow the module with the race information that was supposed to have been on the right never made it onto the blog. It's been rectified, and all the info is back on board. Thanks for the heads up!
