    Yesterday was 6 months since my accident. I’ve known I could do this for a week or so, but I wanted to surprise @itsKarliWoods ! One of my goals through this recovery is to dance at our wedding in September. This was a massive confidence boost that my goal could become a reality.

    So... This happened today!!! 🚴‍♂️ I wanted to see if I could pedal on my own before a electric stimulation session. First time on a up right bike since the accident and I could pedal it! It’s been a great week so far!! #🚴‍♂️ #spinbike #rehab #progress

    What a difference two months has made! I boarded this plane for the season opener in St. Pete. @itskarliwoods was moving my legs, I had people supporting my body. Today I boarded the same plane fully independently!! I wasn’t proud of the first and last steps but very happy!

    Did my first slide transfer as a paraplegic today. My upper body is getting stronger everyday. I’ve only been posting videos of the small movement in my legs, but the reality is I am far away from walking on my own. I’ve never worked harder for anything in my life. More to come!!

    It’s like I’ve been doing it for years! 😬 I’m happy my balance has improved a lot in the last 4-6 weeks. Hopefully this is signs of things to come in 2020! The grind never stops. #SCI #spinalcordinjury #progress

    Here’s a clip of me in the Exoskelton. This was a big day and the first time I could take more than 1-3 steps before fatiguing out! My right leg is unassisted and the left leg on being supported by the exo.

    Christmas Eve session with @pitfittraining. We’ve been working towards walking with a cane for a while now. I tried a couple months ago, and I couldn’t even take 2 steps. Today I was walking around at a snails pace! It’s days like today that make me want to work even harder. 👴🏼

    Another good morning with @pitfittraining! I begged the guys to let me try push the prowler. I figured it would just be like using a heavy walker! It seemed suiting considering it’s #fastfriday for the #indy500!

    I just wanted to clarify a few things. There seems to be some confusion about what the word “paraplegic” really means. Please read my statement below. Thank you all for your amazing support! You’re all a big part in helping me get back on my feet!

    I’m coming to St. Petersburg!! I can’t wait to be back in the @indycar paddock. I’ll be doing a meet and greet Sunday at 10am at the firestone display in the fan village, as well as the indycar autograph session Friday at 12:30. I look forward to seeing everyone around the track!
