photo 1) badass brain biopsy scar - punk as fuck. 

photo 2 ) trying on my cool new leg brace made, which fits perfectly and will help prevent my knee from buckling when i put weight on my left leg.  thanks to ron at Evergreen Prosthetics & Orthotics for his great work.

photo 3) cyborg upgrade in progress

more to come tomorrow! 
also: my incredible sister Shannon is taking on a 35 mile bike ride to raise funds to find a cure for this disease that i am fighting everyday. i’m going to be there at the finish line to  thank you shannon, for joining me in my fight. friends, and those of you who have asked me what you can do to help, please donate what you can - we’ve already been so touched by the generosity of those who have donated, and every bit helps. proceeds go to the oregon chapter of the national ms society, a great organization whose mission is to “mobilize people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS.“ Oregon has one of the highest instances of MS in the nation. if you’re reading this, you know someone who has MS (spoiler alert: it’s me!) if you can, please help my sister raise funds to fight this disease. thanks either way for your continued support. click here to reach my sister’s personal donation page.

in other news, i got my left big toe back today, in terms of mobility (of course it never really left me in terms of location). it may seem like a small gain, but it’s actually super important for balance when walking, so i’m hoping to see some gains in pt tomorrow. wish me luck!

Cyborgs FTW!
