About Me

I was in an auto accident, a classic T-bone wreck, in 1994 which left me with a traumatic brain injury and as an incomplete C5/6-C/7. I had complications in 2003 and 2005 with adjacent levels of the fusion failing (which I wasn't warned about during the first operation) which resulted in being fused at C4/5 and then at C3/4. The breathing problems with the damage at C3 were really scary, but fortunately they mostly resolved after the surgery. So I'm a C3-C7 Incomplete now.
