Thanks Quix!!

HI Quix.  I just wanted to tell you that you got through to Craig the other day. He came home and was telling me about muscle atrophy and how he wants to avoid it as much as possible,   He and I are aggressively stretching his calf muscles by putting his foot one at a time in a 90 degree angle and pushing on the ball of his foot.  He has alot of clonus and his calf muscles are really fighting back as I stretch them but after awhile is legs and feet feel so much better.  If we stretch them for about 20 minutes, then even his back spasms go way down in severity.,

So he was able to work this morning in no pain.  He just made a mistake and decided to go to a store to shop for a TV during lunch.  Bad idea as his legs and back went into spasms all over again.  But we are going to try and do the stretching three times a day.  Things are slowly starting to sink in and he is gradually coming to terms with things, but the emphasis is on "gradually".

So thank you from the two of us!!

Thank you Heather.  We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.  I still remember how you were there for us on this forum on Christmas Day as Craig was having trouble with two days of spasms from his back to his ribs and around his stomach.
Thank you,
Elaine

I just can't imagine what this world would be like without someone like Quix in it....

I hope things get better for Craig.  You have to know how much all of us love you and Craig and care so much about what the two of you are going through.  

Hugs to you both and I still keep you both in my prayers.

Heather
