    My daughter has a T12 spinal cord injury. It was October 14 2020. She is 20 years old now and just bought a house. Im so grateful that she is doing good now. Really hard at the beginning. Thank you for telling your stories. Can’t wait to see more vlogs

    Gosh it was so good to hear this - I had thought I must be completely nuts, as I can be at complete peace one day with my situation (wheelchair due to chronic illness, rather than injury), and the next backsliding into fear and despair for the future. Hopefully the periods of peace will become longer and longer!

    I love this video. Thanks so much for this content. I have to tell you that I am newly injured and I have watched all your videos . All of them, but this one in particular, give me great hope for the future. It is inspiring to know that life can be great after a SCI. Please keep up the good work, it is so valuable.

    Jokes aside,we DID go to the more than 50 years ago,why hasn't there been any great discoveries in spinal research?

    Good question! Maybe because the moon landing had an unlimited budget and the russians aren't trying to do it first

    Evidently, Rodrigo did not use the best resources to learn English. Having said that, he is quite fluent.
