Dear Dr. Kirkpatrick 

 

 

 

Hi! Greetings from Mexico! I emerged from ketamine coma less than two weeks ago.

 

It has been an excitement filled day!

 

 

 

 

I shaved my legs today for the first time in many, many years. It felt

SO GOOD!

 

 

I also sat OUT OF BED for one hour today. I had sat in a chair for a while and threw 32 balls at the wall. IT FELT SO GOOD TOO THROW AGAIN! I used to play center field and could throw pretty hard, but had been literally years since I had thrown a ball!

 

  

We have had a wonderful experience here and the people here are very helpful and always make themselves available for any needed interpretation or otherwise.

 

Dr. Cantu is awesome! He has been a WONDERFUL SUPPORT and done anything he can to help AT ANY TIME! He is an answer to our prayers!

 

  

This is such an amazing treatment and I can't believe the new feelings my body is having and experiencing with every passing moment. I look forward to speaking to you in the future.

See you soon and thank you for all your work on this nasty disease! The ketamine coma is an amazing treatment and hope I can and will help many others like myself in the near future!

 

 

OUT OF BED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS 

 

FINALLY SHOES ON MY FEET!!!

.....And I was able to stand.

..... And I sipped lemonade and it actually tasted good .
