Hello, Victoria. Welcome to the family.
I'm Dan, and interestingly enough, I was left a paraplegic after a benign tumor crushed my spinal cord over the course of several months before it was found and parts of it excised to take the pressure off. I was told I would never walk again. There was too much damage to the spinal cord.
After several months of intensive and painful physical therapy I was able to stand on parallel bars with braces, then take a few steps, then walk with crutches and braces, then canes and braces and then came a day when I was able to throw away the braces and the canes and just plane walk. And yes, it was a genuine, absolute, bonefide miracle.
So I know what you went through. There are very few of us, you know. In fact, in all the years I've been doing this work with chronic pain, you're the first person who's presented a history similar to mine in terms of learning to walk again despite a severely damaged spinal cord. And I've been doing this for... OMG... Cyndy, how long have I been doing this? LOL (Cyndy will know.) It's been more than 10 years, I know for sure, and maybe more than 15.
Anyway, welcome to the family. It's good to have you with us.
Healing hugs and lots of love,
Dan
