Telling Others

I write a monthly article for our local newspapers. Today I added a Q & A about how people in a wheelchair can lose weight. I directed readers to the HCG challenge. I also do an update about my recovery for friends & family. Sincebreaking my neck at the C6-7 level & partially (about 50 to 80%) severing my spinal cord 12-5-04, I have been a quadripeligic. I had 2 stem cell procedures in Moscow, Russia in 06 & 07 and am waiting for my 3rd in Tijuana this year. Although I can transfer, stand at the sink, and walk some in parallel bars and a walker, I have a long way to go to be able to walk somewhere. Since the accident, I have gained 22 lbs to reach 172 lbs. Today, 10 days after starting the very low calorie diet - 500 cal - (13 days after the 1st injection), I weigh between 165 & 166 lbs. I am hoping to walk better because I will weigh less :) I also told my friends & family to check out my blog. My goal weight is 132 lbs.
