I knew.

It's been since confirmed when I got hit the second time 
when attempting to rejoin the work force
by going to school at Abilities of Florida.

I went to orthopedic surgeon Charles Finn in my efforts to stay in 
school and return to work.

Several people here maintain archives on or so they say.
Perhaps you could enlist their help in fleshing out the details?

 WC> The spinal injury is permanent and unfixable.

 EH> How do you know this?

Orthopedic surgeons Charles Finn and West.
As well as knowing several others suffering from equally
permanent spinal disability.

Jon G. was an exception, a very rare exception.
He underwent 4 spinal surgeries only the last of which was
successful and cost a mere $406,000 dollars.

Jon was in the first experimental group to try this new procedure.
It's still a new procedure. 
Jon still sees his orthopedic surgeon every six months so
they can appraise the effectiveness of the procedure over time.

It involves titanium braces beteen the vertibra overcovered
with bone grafts.
This maintains the room for the nerves to pass through relieving 
the stenosis which causes the loss of the ability to walk. 

 WC> The stroke was relatively mild and had no followup.

 EH> How do you know this?

I can speak and communicate.

 EH> If you actually had a stroke, you'd know.

 EH> Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

I'm so happy you are having such a good time.

 WC> Any of you Harvard Medical school graduates have anything to add?

 EH> You're the one making medical diagnoses.

Based upon factual first hand information and confirmed by 
medical board orthopedic surgeons.

May I be so bold as to inquire of that with which you arrive
at your medical diagnoses?
