I have found an old love! Before my accident, I would go over to my friend, Ben Gottfredson's house and in his backyard, we would play soccer. We got all of our friends together to play and we had so much fun. I loved soccer! Some of us would wear shirts and some would go without shirts. Well, David, who is my "helper", bought me a soccer-ball, and they got me in the "air-walk" get-up and then David tied my feet to his, and my body to his, and then we played soccer, against Chad, my other "helper". It was so much fun. They held my head in place with another tie, and David would help my feet move and push the soccer ball around. I loved it so much. We got loud and rowdy, and I felt just like a kid again. What a great idea David, and thanks for making my night so fun. When I was asked if I liked playing soccer I blinked "YES" so good that they knew for sure that I loved it! I want to play EVERY night! It wore me out, and I do believe that it wore those "old" helpers out more! I slept great that night. Wow... what a night!
Nathan that is AWESOME! What a great idea to get you a soccer ball, I can't believe we didn't think of that earlier. You look like a stud playing soccer and I know that someday you'll be able to play soccer and all those other sports you love without the air walk. But for now that is a sweet solution! I can't wait to see you in action soon!
