Milestones

Things people can do now that they could not do, and changes a clinician measured. Every one of these links to the journal entry it came from. There is not a weight on this page and there never will be.

Why there are no numbers here

There is no weight on this page, no percentage and no total of anything. A milestone here is something somebody can now do, or something a clinician measured and confirmed, or simply time served. That is a deliberate choice and we explain it at our design choices.
