Paralyzed high school football player 10 years after injury

http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=327310 - His blurry memories of Oct. 6, 1999, include getting dressed for another routine day of high school and hitching a ride in his buddy's car, but Rob Komosa recalls nothing of the after-school football practice injury that ended his football career, nearly killed him and robbed him of his ability to walk, move his arms and legs, and breathe on his own. "I remember it being a Wednesday, the last day of hard (full-contact) practice," Komosa says from his bed on the 10th anniversary of the injury. "I don't remember the practice or the carry that got me hurt."

I have those dreams too. I am walking but there is always some effect of paralysis hanging on. Then I wake up and realize that I'm still paralyzed.
