I spoke too soon. After getting out of bed and into my wheel chair as usual I went to the computer and read my mail and composed the response below. Then I decided to get up and try to walk which I did with my walker with amazing ease. My wife was incredulous You have to realize that even transfers were extremely difficult- I went downstairs for the first time in a year to wake up my son I took a shower then called my mother who was in tears- chilled a bottle of champaign and walked around again. Truly amazing- still some adjustments to be made but I'M on my way!!! STN is clearly the wave of the future - at least for me. It is truly a miraculous change even on the first adjustment.
