Regarding the miracle recovery...... No and Yes. Let me esplane, Lucy.
The only full recovery was in Boston, a former hockey player, turned Quad,
after
he was hit into the goal net support almost a decade ago. After being
deemed an incomplete C4/5, he spent 4-5 years as a Quad in a modified electric
wheelchair. He did he rehab at Shepard Hospital, in Atlanta. During his 5th
year of daily exercise and workouts, he suddenly had a pain in the back of his
neck and the urge to stand. Short story is 3 monthes later, not only was he
walking as ABs do but there was no sign of permanent damage and he was actually
released by his Doctors who are re-evaluating all his records. This young man
ended up graduating from Boston College and went on to Law School. He also
started a foundation for others with SCI, some monies that could be used to
cover items not covered by insurance.
But that is the only story that I'm aware of at all the major rehab centers
in the USA.
Best Wishes
