[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

I was recently introduced to this conference by Butch Walker
(1:157/3@fido). I broke my neck (C-5) in a college baseball game a
little over a year ago (4/30/89).  My injury is complete -- No
sensation or movement below mid chest, limited in arms, and no
movement in hands.  Recently, have had slight increases in tricep
movement and hand sensation, but of course it remains to be seen if
anything functional will develop.

I spent 5 months in the hospital (4 in a halo brace).  Since then I
have been working (slowly) on finishing my degree in psychology
while trying to get my life back in order.  I spent a good part of
the spring coaching and scouting for the team.

Anyway ... I'm looking forward to "meeting" you all.  I'll be glad
to expand on anything here if anyone is interested.  This
conference is a great idea -- hope I can contribute.
