PERMANTLY DISABLED just that fast my life,my families lives have changed. i am only 31 years old and had my whole life ahead of me, now i can only walk for about 10-15mins at a time and he says i will be ever be able to do more.

i'm so sorry for what has happened. i'm sure so many things went through your head and probably still are, but these are some thoughts you should ponder.

it takes a lot of time for nerves to heal.
the power of positive thinking and personal will are tremendous forces andcan be miricles for what the body can overcome. don't give up!!
look for other doctors, maybe a physical therapist. do some research yourself.
the one person that will fight the hardest for you and your well beingis YOU.

it's a shame that most of us take so many things for granted.
just do your best to focus on what you can do now, rather than how things were before.
i bet in the days to come you will find strength you never knew you had and even then, keep reaching for more. use the love and support from family and friends to feed that strength and i'm sure you'll find improvement and positives that will bring you great joy.
best of luck and my thoughts are with you.

That truly sucks, mate, but now you get some real cool parking! Not to mention the really nice wide restroom stalls without the guilt.

Just joking with you, but you don't sound like the down type. Still plenty of life left in you and who knows, with the right therapy training you gain back some mobility - some pretty amazing sheet has happened before. [:-]

But first and foremost - don't lose hope, mate. If you ever need to chat PM me... had a cousin in a similar situation... [&o]
