what would you do first if you had not walked in 18 years?
My name is Deborah Akbar and in 1990 I was involved in a horrific car accident near Fort Eustis, Va.   Three days later I awoke from a coma to be told that I would NEVER walk again because I was a C-7 C-8 quadriplegic.   I came to Cleveland for rehabilitation at Metro health hospital.  Now I left after 8 months with some independence but no real hope of walking again until November 2006 when I read about Brucker biofeedback.  I am looking forward to traveling to Miami in just 55 days.  Here is the link to my blog  www dot iamakbar dot com.

    tons and tons of rehab. get strong ...real strong. the stronger your body is, the better chance you'll have to overcome any sort of disaster. glad you pulled through fynalefree. manage your risks now and make it a mission to be all that you've wanted to be and do all that you've wanted to do not that you're are blessed and now able. a former quadriplegic who can now walk doesn't define who you are as a person, pulling through that ordeal does. props for being TOUGH enough to prevail. now that you're stronger, you can inspire and carry the hope of souls who are quadriplegics on your shoulders.
