My understanding is that no one really severs their spinal cord. Paralysis usually results from swelling of cord or lack of blood flow to the cord. Vertebrate can be broke or damaged and put pressure on the cord and this can cause paralysis. Sometimes vertebrate are damaged or broken and paralysis doesn't occur or it is minimal.

He was driving to Dallas and that's where he's at right now. Has any one ever made a recovery with a severed cord, I've just never thought about it until now? My thought is it can't happen but I just don't know. Mark Jackson .....
