Hi kate. About people asking you what’s wrong,... In my case, the problem is that they assume they know what’s wrong. When the car hit me, it broke my back AND took off one leg. So, people see me in a wheelchair and assume it’s because I'm missing a leg. It isn’t, of course. If I were only missing a leg, I’d be running up and down my block with a prothesis. ANY loss of mobility matters. But you have no idea how blessed you are to be able to (literally) get off your behind, compared to being in the constant sitting position. Good for you! Keep going with that therapy. From stories I’ve heard, I think Sam is right about improvement beyond two years in cases like yours. My condition was a “done deal” from the start. No movement, so nothing to rehabilitate. Still glad to be here though.
