    Amazing! I had a spinal cord tumor from C4 to T6 and was told I'd never walk again. Yet here I am, walking! And now I'm a nurse that gets to help take care of others in need. I have to use an AFO or a Bioness, but I get the job done. Best of luck to you!

      I had an abscess on C4 it's now plated and pinned. It's been almost a year. Self rehabbing at a local pool when I can get there. Medicaid won't pay for Physical Therapy.

    Someone in my life who is extremely dear to me has recently been struck down by an SCI. The suddenness of it all shakes you to the core. He - like Aaron is staying positive and is truly the most wonderful person I know. I hope a cure can be found. Our lives are just not the same. As time goes on, on another level, I'm hoping this will make us all appreciate life more and and enhance our lives in some way.

    I'm optimistic because of his story I had an aunt was a quadriplegic for 50 years of her life. I just believe there is too many evil greedy people on this planet who will never solve spinal injuries because there is way too much money in round the clock nursing wheel chair sales pt facilities etc. I mean you would think they would allow stem cell therapy like have in Columbia Mexico and Europe to try to regrow and repair damaged spinal cords and even brains but nope these people are left to suffer.
