  • I hope Obama makes a change on the Goverment's policy on Stem Cell research, That is the best opporunity for nerve regenegation. Good luck to you.

  • Dear Pasliso: An idiot is a person who has NO thinking from the neck up. U're moving ur thinking w/o difficulty, and are totally wrong. Have you ever met a quadriplegic? I knew one in 1964 who wanted to dance with me, and I regret not doing so. Everyone deserves to dance if they want to.

    Dear Deborah: Keep up the fight and win! Ignore the ignorant! You are awesome, and stated your case perfectly. Good Luck!

  • You don't know what complete and incomplete is however, you were a quad? Hmmm! I've been 1 for 25yrs and I knew what it was a few months after my accident.

  • You are a phenomenon. People like you make me ashamed of my ridiculous problems.God Bless you, and I will follow you progress.By the way, you are beautiful.

  • What happen to the other 2 in the car? Thank u for sharing your story on YouTube

  • thank you for sharing your story

  • were u d only one dat got injured...

  • Is there some natural herbs that will bring back sensations? What herbs do you taken or tried for healing? What has your growth been since the accident?

  • To the individual who thinks that incomplete means

    bruised, it is a broader term than that. With complete, no neurological signals travel past the level of injury (no movement) whereas incomplete,some signal travels up some of the 4 sensory/motor tracks that comprise our spinal cord (some mvt/sensation). In my case, I further confuse individuals, doctors and nurses, since I have an incomplete central cord injury over an area that spans from c3-c7. This injury runs vertically not horizontal.
