Talk about a wildly inspiring story that warmed my body, heart & hands on this Thanksgiving eve...
"They started at the top and worked down - sternum, sacrum, knees - with his body and brain opening paths of communication that had not existed before. The other day it was brain, meet lower-leg tendon. I said today, I can feel my Achillies, you have to realize, I have never felt my Achillies before."
