Dear Jessica,
I suffered a spinal cord injury over 4 years ago, ironically in your home state of WV. Mine occured while rock climbing and was diagnosed as incomplete. I had a compression fracture of T-12. They weren't sure I would ever walk again, but fortunately once the spinal shock resolved I began showing improvement. After extensive physical therapy I went from a wheelchair, to a walker, to crutches, and then a cane during my first year of recovery. I want to tell you it does get better...physically and emotionally. I admire you!
Sincerely,
Neal
