1 surgery at age 14 (latissimus dorsi transfer). In 2004, at age 28 I was struck with Transverse Myelitis which paralyzed me from the chest down. I recovered movement to my right leg, but need a KAFO to walk on my left leg. I became an RN in 2008.

Wow! That is such a great bit of news. I am OBPI but I also have a spinal cord injury from 2004 that has left me an incomplete paraplegic.
