Hard to imagine a more perfect day. The only thing that could make it more complete was being surrounded by my personal friends and family....
We all toiled late into the day. Molding, adjusting, cutting, guiding, demonstrating, hugging, clapping, laughing, gritting, crying...dreaming.....and working.
Our prosthetic teams got most every patient up on a device for at least a brief moment today. Enough to know what adjustments are needed to further ensure success for tomorrow.
This is a big step for such a large group of but all were patient and accommodating. For the day was not without its mishaps and errs that we need to work through and improve on to secure success for tomorrow.
At 9pm when we were finally done seeing patients. Dr. Mary, Hospital staff, patients from the present and the past put on a dinner for us. It was extremely touching and entertaining. It is impossible not to be emotional seeing people that I haven't seen in years, but are still walking on a device I helped make. We are undeniably connected and we both know it. Eventually, I will try to post the version of Greased Lightening that the patients performed. Till then, please let your imagination run wild.
Buenos noches
Pablo
