Just give it time. she has regained alot so there is no telling what else she might get back. She is lucky tho, alot of people dont get no were near that back.

what was hard to understand?


so your friend walks a little funny, why does everyone have to be perfect? hand her a cane or an arm crutch and let her go!

be thankfull for the recovery she has made, I agree to hockydahc
life is tuff enough being a SCI to have someone try to make you perfect you need to do some fast learning if that is what you are looking for.

I'd give anything to walk at all, or play my gutair.... I think she's very lucky....

Tell her to keep on Rockin' ....... And good Luck!

Patiently wait. Two years is the standard evaluation point for SCI recovery but it is by no means scientific. Anytime the CNS gets a shock, the brain loses the ability to send the complex signals necessary to function. Walking is a very complex function and it may take many years just to retrain the muscles to respond to the brain.

Hang in there and keep giving your friend support. But be prepared. Your friend may never walk normally or unassisted again.

just keep in mind, being positive isnt always enough. Focus on how lucky your friend is to have progressed this far. Pushing for perfection causes frustration, especially on things out of our control..
