Glad to see that Sheriff and Jsarno are doing well after your injuries , stay safe and stay strong !

While I appreciate the sentiment, mine was a normal injury with no repercussions, not like Sheriff. I was just showing that it scared the shit out of me and mine was for literally 1 second...I can't imagine it lasting as long as it has with everett or anyone else.
The doctor for everett said he has a 5-10% chance of getting full motion back. That sucks, but at least there is a chance.
Makes you wish Stem Cell research wasn't cut.

ESPN just reported that, as the sedation is wearing off, Everett is able to move his hands and legs. Although he cannot move them normally, which is to be expected, his Dr. is optimistic that Everett will walk again.

PS - Thanks jsarno and others who said nice things about me and my injury. I'm 90% back and I pray Everett recovers as well, if not better.

He also said he is confident he will walk out of the hospital!!!
EXCELLENT NEWS!

I can't lie. I know I'll be shedding a tear of joy when he walks out of that hospital.

There's no shame in that.

I think a lot of us will be there with you. He has been given a second chance at life, good for him.

I've got to admit that it is so nice to see fans of every team rooting for Everett.

I was talking about this with my father-in-law this evening and doesn't it seem strange that these fluke paralyzation things tend to always happen to guys who are 3rd string or special teamers, while you can have marquee players take a beating for season after season and they rarely get the traumatic injuries like this?

The only dude I can think of in recent memory who has had anything like this who was a "name" player was Tedy Bruschi with the stroke, but on-field incidents, I'm drawing a blank...

SmootSmack · 09-12-2007, 01:32 AM

He wasn't an NFLer, but does anyone here remember Tim Strachan?

I don't recall Mike Utley being a 3rd stringer...and who was that guy back in the day that got hit by a raider's defender...my memory isn't working well tonight. I thought he was a big name too.

Wasn't that the kid that got paralyzed in a diving accident?
