My miracle recovery
The feared New York Yankees were in town to battle the Indians. It
was the
same night Herb Score was hit in the eye by a
line drive off My uncle, Anthony, ( Tony Toms ), set up the picture, Uncle Tony and my parents
arranged the pic with Mickey Mantle
Before the game, my dad led us to
the edge of
the stands After the picture was taken
& we
were walking
away, "Fellas, No
matter what happens in life ~
Meeting a hero would be the highlight of many
people's lives,
Mickey Mantle's words were catapulted back into my memory I suffered a freak
spinal injury I was filling ice
bins as I had everyday for 8 years After a hot bath, I fell asleep
while watching the "Blues Brothers" on TV & I thought maybe they had fallen asleep I started rubbing them to get the circulation back I realized there was something seriously wrong I had to drag
my 6'6" - 210 lb frame across the room I
was taken to my hospitals emergency room I was there only 1 1/2 Hours before I had an emergency surgery.
Then ~ and this was right out
of the movies or a tv show ~ I was -- to say the least speechless I started to cry and could not understand how this could happen He went on to explain somehow the disc which separated L1 & L2 This had blown out & destroyed the nerves to my lower body He added he had NEVER seen such an injury Can you imagine being
a single, independent, active, healthy
young man, It was the Nightmare we all hear about - It was during
the initial days of this ordeal
my father I also was reminded of my Aunt Helen
Pecek, A novena is to be said 9 times per day for nine days So with
the inspiring words from Mickey Mantle
& the
advice from my Aunt Helen Again, HERE And recommend anyone who is need of a Miracle to stop I also was given an icon by a friends of mine + + + +
I went one step further - as some
people do when
confronted by such overwhelming circumstances & I
made a solemn promise .... ~~~~~~~~~ I drifted
through the
gamut of emotions, I
kept a digest and used it to
document
my feelings My leg muscles which had been well formed and very articulated were now like mush I lay in the hospital the first 8 days after the operation I was without ANY
feeling or motor function from my waist
down I was immediately assigned a psychologists to help me deal with the changes in my life. Through the hospital occupational therapy program I would be
learning about paralysis I had lived alone an on my own for 7 years and was determined to continue to do so ~ I also was shown how to perform personal care tasks - I recognized some problems facing people with limited mobility I kept repeating the prayer to Saint Jude Found HERE over & over again. As stated above, I was single and decided I was not going to impose my situation on anyone no matter what the outcome
I was urinating through a catheter and using a
bag
for bowel movements. On Day Three after the operation I was introduced to They needed the results of this test to compare to any further progress I might
make An EMG measures muscle response to stimuli and nerve
conductivity. The first test showed no trace of muscle / nerve activity Then - on the 15th day after the injury / operation - for some reason ( unexplainable by my doctors ) My doctor said - this was "impossible "
The doctor administered the pin prick test and his mind changed as BUT There was
hope.
Were my Prayers being answered ? Was
a
door opening for me to do the impossible" ? I prayed even more, repeating the prayer time after time, sometimes for hours
Since this doctor had NEVER seen an injury or a case like this where some controlled movement and feeling During my physical therapy I was given steroids to assist in the muscle building process After 3 weeks I
could still move only my left
foot noticeably My mother came over and helped me re-arrange my home to be more wheel chair accessible and easier to maneuver around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had a ramp built to my front door. My
father would come to my house 5 days a
week, My routine at first was to get up The therapists at the new facility said they too had NOT seen many cases like mine, The new physical therapists told me I should expect the worse and hope for the best The thought of NEVER walking again was thrust back into my mind The therapy first consisted of me just lying on my back I could not stand or take a step on my own as my legs were just not strong enough to do this But I was getting stronger every day
To
make
a long story short - after 6 1/2
months, I did what the Doctors had claimed was almost Impossible As Billy Crystal said
in a famous movie
To me it was like
conquering Mt.
Everest.
The therapist caught me and really laid into me - telling me that I could have fallen and re-injured myself. So that was that for heroics For another 5 months slow but steady improvement was seen The ritual was tedious and most times boring but oh so necessary A treadmill was introduced My right leg had started to get stronger Then, about one year after the injury and operation I underwent my 3rd EMGram Again 15 locations in each leg were tested If I had know atomic secrets ot the where about of Ann Frank This test showed I had improved about 45 % over the first EMG which showed 0
I thought this was way off as I felt much stronger then the test indicated After 2 more months I was told I had plateaued BUT This came from the same people who told me NOT to get my hopes up My Instructions from them were: I was livid -- They forgot who they
are
dealing with = I went to see the primary doctor who performed the initial surgery He made arrangements for me to go to another therapy facility. So, after a break in my supervised therapy of three weeks I was put on a stationary bike and in the next year and half I can not even venture a guess as to how many times I transversed up and down those stairs. The Foot Flop or Foot Drop was/is obvious is caused by the lack of control of the muscles My overall strength improved slowly to the point where I could walk 50 or 75 feet to to the door of the supermarket After another 7 months the therapy sessions were cut to three times a week and Toward the end I was able
to
drive myself and no longer needed to impose on my father I continued the
painful,
tedious, at times disheartening
supervised
out patient therapy After that length of time I was able to walk on my own for short distances I was informed I had to undergo a 4th EMG, It was then decided further supervised therapy would not be necessary So I was once again cut loose and ordered to exercise each day to maintain the muscle control I had attained. And using a cane was no problem and a better alternative than I
did my exercises at home every day ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was around this time God smiled on me again and ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From the day of the accident to the present I have still NOT run one stride -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I occasionally cut a little bit of the lawn ( not a lot, just a few passes ) I go fishing occasionally BUT that is the extent of my outside activity One day I was outside and decided to see if I could jump - and was a hurdler and high jumper in track As stated above - walking for just any distance, even with a cane, results in my having to sit down I try not to over-exert myself but when I do I suffer from it. This is from the my lack of strenuous exercise and the heart condition which developed from the steroids given me I think it is a natural reaction for most people, to think you can perform certain tasks that you could do before ~~~~~~~~~~~ If you saw me today you would hardly ever suspect I had been through ALL of this
I have a hitch in my gait and I lean to one side when walking and the foot flop is still noticeable - if you are looking I can not stand up out of chair without pushing up with my arms and need a bar in my bathroom to get off the toilet I still have the "Foot
Flop" or "Foot Drop" in both feet - more pronounced on
the right especially if I am tired -- . My overall musculature composition is not great -- I still have
good days and bad days - more
good
than bad by a margin. So by doctors orders I try to do something everyday to help me keep up some muscle building A VERY small price to pay I now suffer from what they are calling Restless Leg Syndrome ( 20 years ago this was not even heard of If I am at rest I can feel my muscles twitching and if I watch my legs I can see the muscles spasming under the skin I experience
severe leg cramps
most nights for which I still take Q-vel These cramps always
wake me up, so my sleep routine is
drastically altered. These are just little reminders
-- The
traits
of
determination and perseverance and
patience
were deeply instilled in me. The
doctors
actuallyused a word seldom heard from a doctor BUT, I can
explain it -
Prayer, faith
and Divine Intervention. They have
accused me
of
In my opinion I did the "IMPOSSIBLE" ~~~~~~~~~~~ I will never
be 100% again And I still Pray
My daily routine has changed little in the years since - As stated above I fish occasionally and at times do a bit of light yard work During the 30 months of my initial recovery I gained about 40 pounds The doctors said this was a result of my lack of any vigorous exercise
I have been limited in my ability to
exercise Early on in my recovery I came up with an idea for an assistive device for those with limited mobility -
We
had to sell the "Tomscks Band Box"
because of my fathers own health
problems My father has since died
and
Heaven
became a better place I had set a
goal
to
run in
a 5k walk
Even though ALL of this is so frustrating - As
another great ball player Lou Gehrig
once said - This whole period in my
life is
just more proof that anything is
attainable with
faith. work, determination and prayer
I
feel I
have been Touched by an Angel - Was it a misdiagnosis by the doctors - I rather believe NOT I believe this is what Mickey Mantle's word - and prayers and my determination helped do for me I can NOT say any of these events or things have had anything YOU MUST JUDGE FOR YOURSELF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now, for spinal injury patients there are more treatments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You may be saying - after reading this section ~~~~~~ I started to have searing, constant pain in my hips This
condition as well as heart problems and hip deterioration I suffer from were traced I
would need
hip replacement surgery, first on my
left hip. Two
doctors refused to do the hip surgery stating I was
too heavy - I weighed 250 in 1997 pounds. It was around this time I started to lose weight and dropped 35 pounds to 215 Finally
I found a doctor to
complete the left hip He told me if I had weighed more than 240 pounds he would not consider the operation Now I have about 2 pounds of titanium in my left leg to replace the thigh bone and hip socket ~ For a time this severely limited my
ability to do much activity and I still lead a sedentary I have
found thousands of others while searching
the
net for "AVN" The steroids I was given also were shopwn to cause heart problems by stopping my body from purging cholesterol Please avoid any type of steroids at any cost Again, The steroids were also found to be responsible for my heart conditions Then after years of the
sparsest of activity and social life Two weeks after I was cleared by the hip doctor
I injured my back again and my cervical spine ( neck ), in this mishap As a result I have a cadaver bone implanted in my neck as a spacer to keep the vertebrae separated Because of this accident PLUS the heart episodes mentioned on this page, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recently
had an MRI and now
my
right hip has deteriorated to 70% I don't take ANY pain medications except for one aspirin a day or an occasional tramadol
Overall I try to remain as active as
possible
without over doing it. I don't do anything very strenuous. Skeptics,
nay sayers and generally negative people
might
comment to the effect Mickey
Mantle
played a minimal role in this
episode Just to think
a man of his import and standing would
take the time I have always wondered why I was given this miracle while men like Christopher Reeves, ~~~~~~~~~~~ Now to show how God works in strange ways -
I had been
granted the "Miracle" and could at least ambulate again This
became an all consuming passion. First the idea to
write the book: It also became a primer for novice inventors to guide them through that process ~~~~~~~~~~~ Now for some of the things that have come out of this Injury You may be amazed @ how this injury opened up doors ~~~~~~~ We have all heard the phrase ~ Thus I became an Inventor and that presented others ways to help even more people During my research I found that the soothing aspects of Reflexology foot massage ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My mother gave me the name The "Foot Eze" and I had that trademarked in OHIO I did 90% of the work on the project - I
enlisted ADULT
HANDICAPPED WORKSHOPS - I patented it -- had 3500 produced, then as already revealed -- Then I ran into more health problems and my funds were used up and I had to cut back on those efforts ~~~~~~~~~~ The invention process
started a chain of
events and led to experiences that would At first I saw the invention as
an
opportunity
to take my mind
off
of my physical situation, Would this be the way to fulfill "The Promise" to help others ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I must limit myself Helping as many others as possible ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK on the video above I also will make a A Donation to any cause the buyer designates OR The donations from those sites go TO ANY CAUSE OR Charity YOU ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ The Foot Eze is ideal to send as great gifts of personal care items in care packages to any soldiers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~ I have become obsessed
with finding ways to help others and have come up with many variations and ways of doing so You now have read I hope you take the time to visit the linked pages about the Foot EZE Remember -- Any one who has ever said Also the fact it was packaged by Adult Handicapped Workshops ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I kept the minimal s&h to cover my costs -- You can find more of my sites by doing a "google" for "great gifts for any soldiers free" I
placed myself under tremendous pressure to
keep my
"Promise" to help others but the
compiling health problems
Again, as mentioned above, In the past few years
I have had to undergo 6 heart surgeries -
On doctors
orders ~ and
because of my present health
situation / setbacks, Not for a big profit ~ Yet I need to be assured some of my ideas were used The FOOT EZE would be great to sell directly to the military if someone knew the ins and outs of that process You see, I always remember
and
am still attempting to think up ways to keep my
"PROMISE"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, I have succeeded in helping some
but not to
the extent I know is
possible. I
could stop now & say I kept my
promise. I HAVE HELPED OTHERS But,
my
intention, is
STILL to
eventually assist many, many
others but my health is holding me back
It all depends
again on fate.
While many people never will
have a chance to experience even one of
the things I
have - In the meantime I must remember AND keep practicing the Pay It Forward Theory .
It
is
my belief the Higher Power's master plan and the reason
for
ALL that
has occurred -
I hope to sell
the rights
to someone to
produce and market / distribute the Foot
Eze, or to use my other unique
marketing
approaches to help the elderly, I believe that will happen - Maybe that someone is you ??? ~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~
Here are some of the ways I have found My biggest success in helping others comes as a result of a Page seen at ********* As a direct result of my spinal injury I have offered the Foot Eze to anyone who has ever said ~~~~~~ I have also developed a way to raise money for charities and other worthy causes ~~~~~~~~ I have written and self published the book - I Shoulda' Thought of That" ~~~~~&&~~~~~ I need to repeat this: ****** ****&&**** To see some of the Interviews on TV GO HERE ~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK HERE ~~~~~~~~~~ I firmly believe "All
things happen for
a reason and
are
inter-connected." Without the injury I
would never
have had the idea for the "Foot-Eze" or
the direction to write the book.
I have done everything in my power
to
progress and have made headway,
It is within my reach and I
have little
control
over it. I can NOT
give up Until I have done
"everything possible" and I will then again
praying for another seemingly "impossible" miracle I KNOW I can never have an impact in the lives ~~~~~ And while Mickey Mantle was portrayed as a carouser and drinker - he took the time to lend How
many people do you know
who have had a
meeting with a celebrity which resulted
in the Lets not let this
stagnate What do you think ?

! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My book "I Shoulda Thought of That" was written - as
still another way to
help and inspireothers with my "Promise"
in mind. The title comes from the reaction to the FootEze by Podiatrists @ a seminar I attended - It contains this story and a copy of
the
Mickey picture
is included
in each copy. But the book also address the Inventing Process and how to approach it I am
looking forward to the
day I can add
the
happy ending I had 250 copies printed and have run out of those. for just enough to cover my time == $4.98 per copy
Contact me with questions or to get on my mailing list when it is available Here is bit more on the "FOOT -
EZE" and my other invention ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once More, I was given the idea of using the "Foot-eze" to help individuals, This

keep my "Promise" I even had friends of mine test It would be great if someone contacted me after seeing this page with an offer of help. .

'Promise' to Help others
In any way I can find which I made during my recovery
and Do "ARK" ( Acts of Random Kindness ) Theorems which are:
"Go out of your way and try to do something RANDOMLY nice for others
and do something a bit over and above the normal to help complete strangers
& when they thank you
tell them, "the thanks will be when they do something nice randomly for someone else"
then have them ask the person they help in turn to do something nice for another
so on & so forth Until EVERYONE is doing nice things & helping others without a reason
And start performing "Acts of Random Kindness" ( ARK s )
I try to do one 'ARK' every day
by helping me get exposure for my efforts and this story

My Brother Tom ---------- "Mickey Mantle" ----------
Bill ( Me )
(Me)
Cleveland Municipal Stadium
~ Taken May
7th,
1957 ~
- on an
evening that all baseball
broad casters such as
Herb Score, Vin Scully, Harry
Carey, Bob
Costas,
without fail, describe
as
"A great night for baseball"
Gil McDougald's bat. This event - for all real purposes - ended
Herb 's
career
as he was thereafter ineffective in his pitching efforts.
Tony was a sport photographer for Sports Illustrated &
the
Cleveland Press & also freelanced.
Nine of uncle Tony's pictures were included in the NFL's 1999 coffee-table book "Best Shots
" commemorating the greatest NFL photographs of the century.
He counts 20 Sports Illustrated covers to his credit.
He also drew Albert "Joey" Belle's ire for the infamous 1996 baseball-throwing incident.
Uncle Tony's other work includes his years at the former Cleveland Press,
where he photographed everything from murder to zoo life.
His image of a civil-rights demonstrator
killed by a bulldozer on Cleveland's East Side in 1963
was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize.
He was runner up to the picture of Jack Ruby's
slaying of Lee Harvey Oswald.
telling us we could try to try to get autographs from our favorite players
Uncle Tony was out of town this night
but Fred Bottomer,
another photographer from the Press
had agreed to help and came over to the stands
& escorted us onto the
field we had no idea what was happening
we looked around and saw our hero "The Mick"
walking over to us,
We were so excited we hardly could speak
we took the pic &
the "Mick" said: ( out of character for him )
NEVER give up
until
you have done
EVERYTHING possible
-
~ Then
Pray for
the
"IMPOSSIBLE" ~
He
didn't promise
to hit a home run as Babe Ruth did to
the boy in the
hospital
but the impact Mickey's words had in
my life will never be forgotten
BUT the eventual part the words, spoken to us
by Mickey Mantle,
played in my
life IS the main focus of this story.
when many many years later almost to the day ~
my
life was
changed forever.
while working at the business I
worked at with my Father & Mother
Tomsick's Band Box ~
A
Country Western / Oldies
Music Lounge on Brookpark Road, in Parma, OHIO.
I was
planning on taking
over the operation of the club
in the
next few years
and was planning on that being my
livelihood.
with a bucket that
could not have weighed more than 25 pounds full.
I slipped on some spilled ice and immediately felt a sharp stab in my back,
but I continued to fill the ice bins
then sat down to rest before the crowd started to arrive
after
a few minutes my legs started to tingle
so I left the bar to my help and went home thinking it was just a bad
muscle strain.
when I woke up three hours later
- I had absolutely NO feeling NOR
could I move my legs.
BUT that had NEVER happened to me before
but there was no response and I could not feel the rubbing
using ONLY elbows to reach the
phone to call 9-1-1
& after a delay
2 days - I was transferred to another hospital
better suited to handle this type of injury
At the new hospital I was immediately given a milo gram
where they invert and inject a die
into your spinal cord column to see any blockages or damage
they found extensive damage
I saw a doctor talking
with my mom in the hall outside my
room and she was crying.
He came in
without batting an eye told me
"Bill,
from the experiences I have had with similar types of
injuries
I give you very little chance of ever
walking again - about 5%".
had been damaged while slipping in the attempt to lift the ice bucket
and had exploded while I was sleeping.
causing the paralysis
and his prognosis was just speculation
playing some golf, went to many Indians Baseball Games
fishing with my dad
living an active - full life -
then i a mtter of hours
I was completely helpless.
and it was happening to me
brought the Mickey Mantle
picture to me
and reminded me
as to what "The
Mick" had said.
"Pray for the Impossible"
now
deceased, who
always told me to Pray a Novena to St. Jude,
the
patron saint of miracles and
hopelessness & lost causes if I ever needed
anything.
then when your prayers are answered you are to post a public thank you to St Jude
I started to pray for the seemingly impossible - to walk again.
is the Novena PRAYER to St Jude and The Sacred Heart of Jesus I SAID OVER and OVER
( I ESTIMATE I said the novena at least 10,000 TIMES IN THE ensuing 2 and a half years -
I still invoke it today
at that link and at least read The St Jude Novena Miracle Prayer
which is supposed to bring God Blessings
and protection to whomever possesses One
It may have helped me
You can get more info on the icon further down the page
It is a Fish Bone with the image of Jesus on the Cross
NOT man made but made in nature
I was using EVERY tool available to see to it I walked again
IF my
prayers were
answered and I was allowed to overcome
this devastating situation ....
I would
find ways to help others
even contemplating
suicide but dispelled that option quickly
and eventually turned it
into a
book
to help others it is also an inventors digest --- more on that later
I am going to make the book available on the net soon as a read file.
~~~~~~~ more on that below
In addition there was NO knee jerk or ankle response to the hammer stimuli
nor was the any reaction to the pin prick tests.
--- there was no neuro-muscular reaction to any stimulus
very depressed, thinking about my situation.
and how to function on my own.
I would learn how
to use a wheelchair ~ how to make a bed and cook from a wheelchair ~
~ reach for
items
from the wheelchair,
everyday things
everyone
takes
for granted
actions as simple as putting on
socks or putting on
a shirt.
taking a shower, cleaning / emptying my waste bags - brushing my teeth -
getting something out of the freezer - checking for bed sores ---
AND performing other hygiene tasks
These all
were enormous
hurdles.
needed addressing and I eventually invented a device to help them
More on that further down on this page
I had to learn to be independent, again.
the first of 4 EMG tests (( Electro mylogram or Electromylograph, milogram, myelogram )) ovet the next 30 months
which eventually became pure torture.
During the procedure a receptor is inserted into your your foot
and then needles are PLUNGED into muscles in your legs at various locations.
An electric shock is passed through the needles and courses it's way to the receptor
to measure nerve response and muscle reaction.
As I had no feeling in my legs, the first of these tests was not painful
even though they stuck the needle in 15 times in each leg and shocked me ( 30 times )
This changed as I slowly started to
get
more sensitivity back.
as I lay in bed trying to mentally force my toes to move
I saw my left big toe twitch
I called a nurse and told her, she thought it was just a spasm,
so I repeated the feat. The nurse called in a doctor - He asked me to do it again -- and I did
as the EMG test had shown no nerve or muscle activity or conductivity had been present
He had NEVER seen this before
I FELT Some slight sensations in certain confined areas ---
he immediately ordered my second EMG which showed 10% response
and he
started a me on a more strenuous in hospital physical
therapy
program
1 1/2 hours total per day.
I decided I had to make every attempt to "Walk" through it ~~
was apparently returning he could only speculate:
the
nerves that were responding were somehow impossibly healing
or regenerating themselves BUT because of the damage which they saw during the operation in their opinion
they were sure some of the nerves to some of the
muscles
would never make that transition,
they were
damaged too
badly ~ I would need to learn to
use, develop and control the muscles that
would respond if I had any hope of walking again
At that time little was known about the long term adverse affects steroids might have
I am sure I had to sign some release
papers,
but
can NOT
recall any
discussions with any doctors
concerning
the dangers of steroids
I found out first hand there were very serious side effects ( more on that later )
but not dramatically.
I was discharged from the hospital afraid, scared and unsure what the future held.
I was assigned to a new
out patient therapy facility near my home.
wheel me out, lift me
into his car, take me to therapy then
home again and wheel me back into my house,
he was
67 when this started. He was never late nor did
he once
complain.
-- get ready for therapy - go to therapy - come home - take a sits shower - watch TV - make dinner
( I ate one full meal a day with a snack in the evening most days ~~~
I became a micro-wave wizard - get on the computer and - watch more TV,
once in a while a friend would stop by to visit, then I would go to sleep
and I was instructed NOT to get my hopes up - in other cases they saw a small recovery - then nothing.
and the technician lifting and bending my legs since I could not perform these tasks.
After a month I had progressed to lifting my left leg off the pad a few inches on my own.
My right leg was not responding to the therapy as quickly as my left. Leg weights were added.
A few more months and I could move both my legs
( actually it was more like swinging my legs )
and I started using the parallel bars
much
pain and hard work I felt a bit cocky & the therapist was not looking
so I let go of the parallel bars I used to support me
and I took
my
first 2
steps on my own without using any
support to hold onto.
I had walked again
"It was the BEST DAY
OF MY
LIFE"
I could not yet stand up out of a chair without assists
to see how much improvement I had made.
By this time I had regained much more feeling in my legs and
I felt the pain of the needles being STUCK DEEP into my leg muscles
and the effects of the electric shocks were extremely painful
I would have gladly given them up
OR admitted to being Dr. Josef Mengele
and I would NOT get any
stronger -- AND there was no longer any reason for out patient therapy -
I was outraged - I could not yet get around without great effort using crutches or a walker
and leg braces and even then only for very short distances
and I still occasionally used the wheel chair
and I might
NEVER walk again ~ their prognosis had to be wrong again !!!!
to do a series of planned exercises for an hour each day to maintain what strength I had regained
to avoid muscle atrophy - then against my protests -- they cut me loose
"Bill Tomsck and his
band of
Guardian Angels"
and told him what they had said --
He asked me "Bill, do you think you can get stronger ?" I answered "YES, without a doubt".
I started another regime of treatments.
would peddle probably a thousand miles, after a while they added a set of 3 stairs with a railing.
I kept on getting stronger day by day. A while longer and I could take a few steps on my own but
I still need crutches and the foot braces if I have to go somewhere which required a longer time on my feet
which bend your feet while walking -- Your feet actually flop
on my own to go shopping - using a cart to support myself while I shopped
to keep
rebuilding my muscles
and to walk on my own. (( The total was ALMOST 30
months from the day of the injury to my final release ))
and I remember not sleeping for 24 hours previous to it in anticipation of the pain.
It
was as bad as I had expected.
This time the test indicated I had regained about 60% of my strength
over the first test which has registered 0 muscle activity
and it was the opinion of the doctors, again, I had reached my limit of recovery.
and I faced reality
Finally, I felt this was reasonable as I knew I was NOT getting stronger,
But I was maintaining my strength
what had been presented to me at first.
to avoid
the atrophy and try to assure my legs muscles stay at a constant level
even though some days it seemed a bit useless,
I would recall what I had been through and how far I had come
gave me the inspiration for a hands free device to help
those with limited mobility perform foot hygiene and foot massage tasks
The device also stimulates circulation and incorporates the fundamentals of Reflexology foot massage - without the need for bending
More on that below
I can NOT jog nor even walk at a fast pace BUT I can walk for short distances -
Recently my car broke down and I walked about a mile to my home
( I had to stop a few times and rest )
That night I had continuous leg cramps
Remember, I am 6'6" and used to play basketball for Cuyahoga Community College
and in those days I was able to dunk the ball without effort
But I found I COULD NOT EVEN GET An INCHES OFF THE GROUND
and I get very short of breath and my heart pounds.
I have even experienced angina after just taking out the garbage
and then find out that they are too much for you and wind up paying a price
This is because the dorsiflexor muscles which run up the outside of the shin bone and control the up and down
- swivel movement of the ankle and foot -- my right one is non functioning and the left flexes but never fully redeveloped
But it is far better than it was during the initial months of this ordeal
back then it was NON existent
It will be an
on-going,
never ending effort to stay at a
constant
level and NOT retrogress
And because of my heart condition I must do some type of exercise too, no matter what the strain
as long as it does NOT tax my heart to extremes
I may cut a few passes of my lawn
Or take out the garbage
as if there were jumping beans in them
( an over the counter quinine medicine for the cramps)
Or use something named DMSO which I have found to be very effective
Most times My legs shake
involuntarily when I
am sitting and resting due to restless leg syndrome
- many people think it is a
nervous habit,
comment on it and are
amazed when I tell
them why this happens
if they are
patient
enough to listen to the whole story,
I
know I
have lightened their load a little
and
they
usually comment to the effect "I thought
I had troubles"
so I help and
hopefully
inspire them one on one.
I
will
always be
"still
recovering"
and how lucky I am.
and call it a
"Miracle"
"Having the Tenacity of an Ant at
a
Picnic".
"The Prayer"
I get up watch tv, prepare a dinner and prepared a snack for later
( remember - I very seldom ate more than one full meal a day )
even with eating only one meal a day - from 210 to 250.
But I have seen reports that steroids can cause excessive weight gain too
and as will be shown, they took a toll on my heart and hips too
by the car accident which resulted in 2 more operations mentioned later and as a consequence of that event
and a heart condition
( with 6 operations - the first, an atherectomy in 1994 to clear heart arteries )
and 5 more subsequent ones spread over 30 years to implant a total of 6 stents in my heart
The last being 2018
The Foot-Eze -
and thus became an inventor ( one of two innovations ) --- more on those later
and it was obvious
I would
never be able to return to such vigorous
work =
as bar tending and managing a bar
require
very
physical
activity.
So I was forced into early
retirement
but
because my heart condition, and one hip replacement
and another in the near future a result of the steroids,
I have just about given up on that .
At least I can get around on my own and drive.
and
it applies to
me:
"I am the luckiest man on the
face
of the
earth"
and I continue to believe that in spite
of my
continuing situation.
one of God's special Guardian Angels assigned to me
who is
waiting to do
even more for me,
testing my resolve to
see if I will carry through on my
promise "To help others."
to do with my recovery but remember = I WAS TRYING EVERY THING POSSIBLE
I choose to believe all these things worked in unison to get me through this
and if caught immediately injections of enzymes and other drugs can help limit the damage
AND stem cell research is just over the horizon.
How can this man feel lucky ?
well compared to the alternative of being in a wheel chair the rest of my life,
I still maintain and always will --
I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth
and was eventually
diagnosed with AVN - AVASCULAR NECROSIS
=
necrotic
OR dead bones in both my hip
joints caused by lack of blood flow
to the steroids I was given
during my
initial
therapy.
And now in 2018 I am facing having my right hip done
The
doctors wanted to
put off the 1st hip surgery in 1997 for as long
as possible
because
at that time hip replacements were notorious
for being
needed every 15 years or so and I was not yet 50
BUT I could not
see
depriving myself of years of a more
active
life just to prolong the
inevitable.
( the worse of the
two
)
but the rehab and research I have done
from that operation helped me all around
who for one reason or
another
were given steroids or cortisone (
cortisone
is a steroid )
and now suffer from AVN
in their hips and shoulders.
Always ask you doctor if any drug he has prescribed for you is steroid based
You would be surprised how many are
I now have 6 stents in my heart from closed arteries
More on that later
combined with the recovery time from
my hip surgery,
I
was given the clearance
from the Hip Doctor to get into a more active
lifestyle and
was gearing up to jump into the Foot Eze Project with both feet ~ pun intended
I was in the serious auto accident in which a drunk driver blew a stop sign and hit my car, which was totaled
- over the next two years - I visited 18 different doctors and kept over 100 Doctor appointments as a result of this event.
and underwent a lumbar spine "discectomy" to relieve pressure on my sciatic nerves
I have again had to put off the things I was planning to
attempt.
and
I am facing another hip
replacement, although, I have little
pain from
this -
the doctors suspect this might be
because of the nerve damage to my legs or because I have grown accustomed to pain
- I
firmly believe without his inspiring
words
and my determination directing me to
recover - none
of it would ever have come about.
to lend his thoughts and inspiration to
two young
boys still gives me goose flesh.
He
didn't promise
to hit a home run as Babe Ruth did to
the boy in the
hospital,
but the impact his words &
actions had in
my life will never be forgotten and I
want to share it with
everyone.
Dennis Byrd and millions of others were still struggling with their injuries
after beating the odds
it was time to start to
keep
my " Promise " to help
others.

More on the Book later
and led me on the first steps to keep my "Promise to Help Other"
Necessity IS the Mother of Invention
Out of a necessity and as a direct result of the spinal injury
~~~ I invented a Hands Free - No Bending - Personal Hygiene - Foot Care Device - Reflexology foot massager ~~~
during my recovery, because of my limited mobility and inability to bend to reach my feet
I saw a problem and developed a device to solve that problem and "help
others"
perform personal care tasks -
foot
hygiene and foot massage
without using their hands and without
the
need for
bending
is another beneficial result of using my unique device
I built the prototype - scripted the test marketing tv commercial -
bought the air time - set up the manufacturing process which also can be run over the phone
- that is explained more fully in the Link to the PATENT FOR SALE found below
I arranged for the distribution of the product -
almost every aspect was done by me alone
with help from a college business class who did some research and built a feasible marketing plan.

Old
Brooklyn,
OHIO

Foot-Eze
-
this was an additional way I
could "help others".

with a TV commercial, in print ads and online to good success

frustrating and stressful than the
therapy.
