Excellent hard work. Congratulations on the abilities you have regained. To be fair to those with "complete" paraplegia, It's important to note that your paralysis is what's considered incomplete. If you take the transmission out of a car it will not go no matter how hard you push the accelerator pedal. There is usually a period of about 18 months after spinal cord injury where function or "return" is gained. You luckily regained some function and have obviously worked very hard to maximize what you have. I mention this because people see your success and judge those with complete injuries by the standards of someone whose injury is incomplete. Imagine rolling into a job interview and the immediate opinion is that you must be lazy or you wouldn't be in that chair? There is enough generalized stigma. Please be responsible and educate when you appear in media like this. Once again, keep up the hard work. You're doing very well!!!
Dear singjeffsing, it is a very valid point that we have to educate - it is not so valid to refer to the 18-months-rule, though. Matter of fact, there are patients who are diagnosed complete who finally turn out to be not and can regain function even after years. This, of course does not and should not imply that "everybody can get back on to their feet". It needs a combination of several factors and hard work to walk again and we are glad we can be of support to those who have and take their chances. We do take our responsibility very serious and we are absolutely aware that there are patients who even with the strongest will have no chance to regain walking abilities. Kind regards Hocoma
Thank you for saying this. The title alone makes it sound like she cured her disability by sheer force of will. It's insulting to those of us who weren't able to recover and get compared to these miracle cases. This isn't typical and shouldn't be presented as such. Personally, it took me a long time to accept my illness and make the best of it by embracing my new body. Saying that this woman "worked her way to independence" is hurtful. I'm a wife, a mother, and a business owner. The wheelchair doesn't mean that I'm refusing to be independent; it gives me the freedom to be independent by using this valuable tool to get around as well as an able bodied person.
The level of injury matters a lot. I could be wrong but she looks like someone with an L level injury rather than T or C...In L cases recovery is very possible with some residual sensory and motor loss. Bowel and bladder issues can also persist. My level of injury is T4-T5 incomplete... I have regained some strength in my knees and can walk with AFOs and a walker but never recovered to normalcy. I use a wheelchair for the most part because doing chores with walker and AFOs might be unsafe as my right knee can buckle abruptly. I walk with AFOs and walker for therapeutic reasons...Getting used to the wheelchair was never my choice but a necessity.
How about you now? Bryan. Hope all you well. Or you can purchase therapy equipment and train. We are factory with cheaper price and good quality products. Hope can help you if you still need. Any way, I hope you've been all well already, no need these devices.
@@xiangyumedical---georgeson8836 still can't walk ...no I can't afford that even if it cheap ... I'm just a poor , sometimes I can't buy my stuff like diaper catheter etc because I don't have money ... :(
@@bryanacebedo1001 Sorry to hear about that. Or you can learn your mother laguage well and teach other countries' students. Like China. It's also a high salary to do that. You will be rich someday. Come on.
Not everyone with paraplegia is "cured." I've been injured almost 19 years and I am not walking . It depends on how severe the damage was to your spinal cord and nerves.
I've tried so hard to get myself a chance for me to be walking again but my therapist i was with told me I'm sorry I have no way to treat your brain injury 😔😔😔😟😢😭
Very moving and inspirational.
