never heard that one w. how about the guy who broke his neck, ended up in a chair, broke it again a few years later and ended up walking, then broke it again later and died? I just saw the life story "the price of power" about the Kennedy family. now THAT'S a curse no one needs. a lot of deaths as a result of 'nothing can hurt us' philosophys.... how sad is that?

Most of us know of the Irish kid in Boston who was pushed into the goal net pole and broken his neck at C4/5 with SCI, From Boston, he went to Shepard where he did he rehab and returned home for 5 years of aggressive physical therapy. One day he had a sharp pain in his back and within 30 days he was up and walking. 60 days later, he was released by all of his doctors as he showed no signs of the effects of an SCI. That was 3 years ago and since then he has gone on to Law School and he started a Foundation to provide monies to those injuried without funding. He is truly a SCI poster kid from the Boston Chapter of the Natl SCI Association. W In a message dated 9/12/2007 3:47:45 P.M.

I think he may be a highly mobile 'super quad' some day and this is based only on the fact that he is already moving his arms and legs. I don't expect he will ever walk normally, and returning to football is something I wouldn't wish on anyone.
