Applying the direct-advice from a STAFF-member, I held onto a HORIZONTAL steel-bar (It was NOT a VERTICAL stripper-pole. WHEW! I am NOT doing THAT … again!), while I lowered myself onto one knee.
I repeated SAID exercise SEVERAL times … with either and BOTH knees!
This "GARGANTUAN"/"COLOSSAL" feat was completed, while I maintained PROPER back-posture AND foot-placement!
(… NEED/MUST I remind y'all that I have A LOT of metal-plates in my LEFT knee?!)

"YAY" for POSITIVE-reinforcement!
…
Yes, I AM quite a CONFIDENT guy.
But, it's ALWAYS ENCOURAGING to hear other people's notice and APPRECIATION of my "WORK"/PROGRESS.
'Por ejemplo' (SPANISH for 'For example'):
Just AFTER returning home from yet another INTENSE, EXHAUSTING workout at my FABULOUS gym ("NeuroFit 360"), my caregiver COMPLIMENTED me about/on how HIGH I was RAISING my injured, SURGICALLY-repaired, LEFT shoulder.
(… Granted "NeuroFit 360" PREDOMINANTLY "works" my LOWER body.
But, "it's the PRINCIPLE"!)

NEXT, I "STOOD"--leaning on my toilet-railings--to urinate into my toilet.
(I had ZERO/NO "spills"/"leaks"/"ERRANT DRIPS" … for the FIRST TIME in ~SIX YEARS!)
THEN, I "WALKED" over to my wheelchair by my bathroom-sink to brush my teeth.

CONTRARY to what a DOCYOR recently told me, I--as a "Biomedical Engineer" from an ESTEEMED "Ivy League"-institution--UNDERSTAND a "LARGE portion" of the FUNCTIONS of the human anatomy.
(… After explaining the extent/details of my brain-injury, one doctor asked me:
"Do ya follow?"
After I nodded and explained my educational-background, said medical-"expert"(JERK) chuckled, shrugged his shoulders and retorted, "SO?!"
(… How UN-professional!)

I JUST saw an ad for "Milky Way"-chocolate bats.
…
"They say ''it's what's on the INSIDE that counts'.
They were right."
They were right."
(… "Don't judge a BOOK by its COVER.")
(… "Do not judge, lest ye be judged.")
(… DON'T "judge"!)
I'm just gonna YELL what EVERYONE's thinking:
AMEN!
...
POSITIVE > negative
…
It's BASIC math.
(… HELL, it's LOGIC!)
…
Create POSITIVE space around you--even if it's just "in your mind".
You MUST HAVE an "environment" of GOOD energy, in order to GIVE "it" ("the GOOD energy").
MORAL
ALWAYS "carry" an "UPLIFTING spirit"/"BRIGHT, SUNNY disposition"!
Things could be WORSE!

PICK-UP line to a CUTE lady:
…
"Or, MAYBE, we could just go to a CAFE, and eat a bunch ah CARAMELS.
…
I mean--if you think about it, it's as ARBITRARY as 'drinking COFFEE and TALKING'."
(--Will, 'Good Will Hunting')
…
"… No more SHENANIGANS.
No more TOMFOOLERY.
No more BALLEY-HOO."
(--therapist in 'Good Will Hunting')
(… I am like Will--"a boy-GENIUS".)
(… with mostly/mainly MATH)

"Face OLD dangers
with a NEW mind."
(--oldER Professor Charles Xavier, 'X Men: Days of Future Past')
… With my NEW "Walk-AID", in order to properly "CALIBRATE" the measuring-/electronic-pulse, I HAFTA completely ALTER almost SIX YEARS of brain-INJURED, WEAK-/STUBBORN-muscled, PHYSICAL training to NOW begin my walks by leaning onto my FAR LESS coordinated/controlled LEFT leg.
(SIGH) This tactic seems--to ME--just STUPID!
WAY to COMPLETELY IGNORE/"WIPE AWAY" ALL I've accomplished in the last
FIVE YEARS, TEN MONTHS, THREE WEEKS and TWO DAYS!
(7/6/08 - 5/29/14)
(… Smell that? My previous statement REEKS of SARCASM!)

I will NEVER apologize for being "I"!

YOU should apologize for asking me to be ANYTHING else/LESS!

Y'all MUST IGNORE Hiroshi Tanaka of 'Major League II', when he yells:
"YOU … have … no … MAHBLES!"
(… Then, he makes an EXAGGERATED gesture to GARGANTUAN, male-EXternal genitalia.)
I saw a 'Jiu Jitsu' shirt that said:
"No GUTS,
No GLORY.
No LEGEND.
No STORY."
(… You've GOTTA have--METAPHORICAL--"BALLZ"!
Be a RISK-TAKER!)
…
So, I was"channel-surfing", when I saw a

a television show-TITLE which ACCURATELY portrays my CURRENT life:
''I Shouldn't be ALIVE''.

In the movie, 'The Vow',
ACTRESS Rachel McAdams is involved in a SERIOUS car-accident.
She "loses A LOT of her memory"--like I did.
Yet she still ends up "leading a SUCCESSFUL life".
MORAL
I've GOTTA find MY "Ryan Gosling"!

"Find the 'TORTURE' you're COMFORTABLE with, and you'll be HAPPY … in life."
(--Jerry Seinfeld)
During my workouts, my "UPPER body"-trainer tells me to "KNOW (MY) limits."
So, I tend to "push myself" to "JUST SHORT" of my PHYSICAL point-of-pain.
(… So, I get to my "point of EXHAUSTION".)
