I was diagnosed as a complete for many years, but they finally have come
around to saying "with partial incomplete" blah, blah. My rehab doc also
calls me tetraplegic. I'm a c-6 in one arm, c-5 in the other. He only says
it when he has a student doc with him.

That's me. I'm incomplete but the disease did so much damage to the myelin
that I don't have any movement and not much feeling at all. If something
hurts I know it though. Could be worse.

I guess they have several methods Dave, At St.John Hospital here in
Missouri, The head of all the Spinal doctors teaches that a Complete means
the Spine has been Completely Severed with not much hope of improvement.
Incomplete means spinal Cord was not completely Severed. Some incompletes
have got partial to full recoveries. However , many incompletes remain as
injured as full completes, never improving much.
