You can have either 'complete' (meaning you will never walk again, and depending on where the lesion is, you will have issues such respiratory problems, difficulties controlling bowel and bladder etc. (loss of very intimate body functions) or 'incomplete' spinal cord injury meaning that some function has been preserved even after severing of the cord.

A proper spinal cord rehabilitation center is fully accessible ( ramps, hand rails etc ) for wheelchair users and would have a wide range of professionals to handle various and complex issues that arise from severing of the cord.

Just to mention in most cases, rehabilitation focuses on adjusting to living with a disability, carrying out activities of daily living with minimal assistance and preserving any function that is left. This takes time and none of the facilities you mention provide that- at least not with the thoroughness that is needed. I have been to one of the ones you have mentioned and I can say that it leaves a lot to be desired…..

So let contribute guys, in a big or small way and let us tell our friends about this worthy cause. Use twitter, Facebook etc !!

.....its such a small world folks; i just learnt that Zach's sis is my colleague at work.

How much more before we bring Zack back home? How far are we?

I've decided to stand up and be counted and made a contribution. This is indeed a worthy cause. I will continue to donate however small the amounts

It's for real. A proud contributor. (toward medical tourism in Kenya)

does anyone know how much the campaign has gathered to date? i need some motivation to bridge the gap.
