Hey folx! Sorry I've been absent for a while. I missed the last couple accountability calls because my wound clinic appointment didn't end in time. Then all last week, we had a HUGE heatwave (upper 90s to 101F with the heat index over 110) and anyone with an SCI knows regulating your body temp can be a struggle. Not having air conditioning along with the sustained high temps, I was miserable and trust me, you wouldn't have wanted me on those calls cuz I was bitchy!!!! My home nurse comes 2 days a week and keeps scheduling me for 11am ESDT so I have to miss several workouts. Although I'm happy to report that my post-surgical PT evaluation went well and she said I am already doing all the right stretches and loves that I'm part of this group so she didn't feel like I needed to continue! I can't make the next 2 workouts, but I can make Thursday's!!! See you all soon!

Weekly Wins: @Claudia Wondra did double the amount of laps (4 instead of 2) in Zeen walker (https://gozeen.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopmhn_99QEfXkGlmQEtVojaM8bcf7Gkhxth-ZV8Fjsk-8LOv7fa)! @Ryan Muir successfully planted his garden and has signs of life!!!!

She's counting her adventure with her pup as a win because she made it outside before the poop fiasco lol! @Nolan Watson has landed a collaboration with a musician to turn one of his poems into a song! Soo cool! @Brittney Neunzig successfully camped in a tent for the first time in over 15 years and DOMINATED the wilderness lol. She even pooped in a porta potty! Ready - Set - Goal! @Claudia Wondra wants to work on lifting her left leg off the ground when she's using her walker and dragging it less. @Ryan Muir is gonna keep his little garden alive by going out everyday to water and weed. He's also going to continue to show up for group workouts! @Tanya Parker is going to re-commit to making a daily schedule and sending it to @Brittney Neunzig, as well as continue to organize her office and exercise during the week!

Sorry I have to miss the call again today. So hard with my wound clinic appointments being roughly the same time 😥

I'm finding that the attendance at the accountability calls varies and I'm wondering if having them less frequently would be better OR if they are even something we want to continue? Are you guys finding value in the accountability calls? Do you like setting goals and sharing as a group? Or would you prefer just to have the other activities like workouts, education classes, etc.
