I saw it too, Bobbie.  Actually, I watched it twice, back to back showings on 
A&E.
Knowing what really goes on in ER, CCU, ICU and Rehab, we know that much 
cannot be shown to the general public especially on television.
Inspite of some earlier comments that I read from reviews saying it was too 
fluffy, I also found it compelling, true to life and inspirational for those 
who want to know what its like to break one's neck.
I'm personally glad that they took the story this way.  I'm sure that it will 
be replayed again in the near future.  Consult A&E Network's website for 
additional showings.

dominated by the Brook Ellison movie. I was EXTREMELY touched by the movie, 
and was impressed how a vent quad was depicted. Even though I'm C 5,6 I got a 
better perspective of how much more challenging it is with a higher level SCI.
  It also flooded me with memories of my family, how each adjusted in their 
own way and time. And when they showed the seen when she first entered the 
rehab, WOW did THAT bring back emotions of 31 years ago.
  Yes, it did make the mom look as though she did EVERYTHING herself for ALL 
those years, which WE all know is quite impossible. But over all, I loved the 
movie.
  What did all you think, that saw it, of how it was portrayed? Did it bring 
back memories for any of you guys?
