Yea I was paralysed for a couple of years after their treatments failed badly. TBH I don't remember that much of it because the pain was so bad I apparently have PTSD I think they call it. Hence they wanted to cut my spine and put me in a chair so it all stopped.
I decided that sounded like a dumb idea so refused but that did mean crawling/dragging myself around with enough pain that I don't even remember much of it hehehe. But having said that I did eventually get about 70/75 percent of my maneuverability back again.
So yea bud its livable, gives me some pain still but nothing like before and you get used to it. They are recommending intervention, seems there has been some degeneration in my back, but that won't stop me. I will just drag myself around again if I have to and be back pinning soon .
