Cyborg dreams

For so long, I've always wanted to try something like this and felt frustrated Canada lacked in this department—but then I finally discovered there was a clinic @neurochangers in Toronto that offered this type of therapy. I was more than ecstatic to go. So far, this is the closest I'll ever get to living my exo-skeleton dreams. It felt unreal to be suspended and stable in my body since my diagnosis over a decade ago.

There are some moments in life you'll never forget, and this is one of them for me. Words can't even describe the joy I experienced, it was pure bliss. It's really just one of those things you'd have to try for yourself to know what I'm talking about. Although something like #MuscularDystrophy is said to be incurable, it doesn't mean we give up hope and curiosity—we never know what the future holds and what we're capable of ourselves. I really believe in this lifetime, there will be a cure for us—but for now, we beat our circumstances by how we live. Grateful for this technology and the people working hard on our behalf to help us live a more quality life. Here’s to hoping for more affordable and #accessible healthcare.
