Yes Silas that often can happen........you are an incomplete but function
more as a complete. A simple bump or trauma to the spine can leave a person
completely paralyzed for life. I spent 2 months in SCI classes, either way
complete or not we are still paralyzed. ( incompletes have got well in some
cases. Dan

Hi Mark... You are correct, The Spinal Doc's Told me that INCOMPLETES = Non
severed cords have recovered or gotten better. Those like me COMPLETE=
completely severed cords have not got much better. But I'm not giving up
hope...thats what all the stem cell research and other types of research is
trying to find cures and ways of improvement for us all.

I found out this morning a friend's father hit a tree last night and
severed his spinal cord.
I just broke down when I heard this, I wish this crap on nobody.
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.
