The Miami Project is fine and dandy for the newly injured, since that's who they're focusing on, leaving us all behind. The Spinal Cord Society is making a lot of progress with spinal cords have been injured for a long time. Check them out! It's exciting. -Angie

They chilled his body right after it happened to prevent swelling. It's something really new that was tested in the Miami project. I saw that hit and kringed and made me glad that mine was non traumatic. I couldn't even imagine laying there awake and not being able to move. It happened to me when I woke up from my coma but I was so out of it, I started barely moving my shoulders before I could comprehend what was going on. Again, I'm really glad that he has the resources to be able to move. I can't say that I'm not jealous, but its not his fault he has the talent to make the money for the resources. Our community might have gotten a new advocate out of it.

I don't know how she turned out. Dave In a message dated 9/12/2007 12:35:50 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yep.
