Yes however the injury was asymmetrical so half of my diaphragm is paralyzed. I was on a ventilator when I went for my rehabilitation at Craig hospital and was slowly taken off of it. I do have a quiet voice and cannot really yell either..

What is causing the pain in his shoulder? I ask because I have a two finger subluxation in my right shoulder, and it's very painful. All the arm braces I have tried, cause pain somewhere else.
