This news is about two weeks old, but Prince William and Prince Harry hosted a reception to pay tribute to those who participate in the care and rehabilitation of Bristish veterans of recent conflicts.
I damaged my spinal cord just by a freak coincidence of basically catching a cold and having that virus hit the spinal cord. Service members of all nations risk their lives in carrying out the duties thier nation's governments asks of them. As opposed to me, they placed their bodies in a situation which sustaining a spinal cord injury is very much a possibility.

In June 2012, I contracted viral meningitis. I ended up paralyzed and on a respirator. There was some doubt that I would walk again, and if so, it would take two years for me to walk "normal enough," but I was able to do so in one year. I am still improving, for I am not completely recovered. This blog is to chronicle my experience recovering from spinal cord injury and pass along inspirational stories of others who faced medical situations.

Project Walk - Seems Like A Fantastic Rehab Gym
I just found out about a chain of rehab gyms called Project Walk.
As grateful as I am for the therapy I received - and all of my therapy was done at the hospital, even as an outpatient - when I browse their website and read about their philosophy, I get really excited that there is a place like this for #SCI recoverers to go.
Because of finances and insurance considerations, I probably would not have been able to go here, not to mention that they are not in my area. But it just seems like a wonderful option.
Not that coming here would be required. I think I had some of the best and efficient therapists one can ever hope for, and there are lots all around. If you are not happy with yours, look around.
I came across this place, started following them on twitter, and it seems like a really really good place.
Check out their website: Project Walk
