The "Fair" ratings are not Dr. Rosenbluth's fault. The problem is there's no good answer for what I'm going through. Jeff is working diligently to try to help find some kind of solution that will help (everything has been exhausted at the University of Utah). Spinal Cord Injuries are by nature unpredictable. Mine just happens to be worse than most Quads.
