All sorts of biking going on

During PT today, I rode over 10 miles in one hour on the leg bike -- the last 11 minutes without any motor support (i.e., the machine did none of the work, it was all my muscles and the e-stim).

During OT, I rode 5+ miles in an hour on the arm bike. 

Go me!  :)

Mike has reconfigured my arm bike FES setup, moving the left biceps electrodes to my left wrist extensors.  Since my left biceps already has good functionality (level 4), the change will give me the opportunity to strengthen the fledgling muscles in my forearm so that I may eventually stop wearing the everpresent wrist splint.
