Hey Josh
Heard the end half of your story on the AM radio today, very inspirational mate. I’ve got a notion that the nerves are just an extension of the brains wiring system and that nerves are constantly being re-taught, however science and medicine hasn’t yet caught up to discovering just how this works. Your a bit of a miracle, somewhat of a prodigy and a great scientific resource for future generations.
Unlike yourself and others, I haven’t injured myself to any great degree, although I also believe being humble is about realising a lot more people are worse off than than myself during the darker times of ones life.
Keep up the good work.
I don’t think I recall hearing how you had the accident, but I’m thinking if it were snowboarding, oneday someone may invent a special snowboarding suit that would help protect (strengthen) the skeletal system for professional boarders, obvisouly one that wouldn’t cause more injury than without one nor cramp the riders flow/style.
IT could very well involve specially designed crash test dummies with sensors, at least to test the basic performance of the suit, possibly a small parachute and/or suit that inflates to cushion the riders prior to impact when they expect they will stack.

Josh just heard a little about you on sen came inside to look you up on the net. Watched your video, great to see your doing so well. Keep that smile going and you will have the world in your hands.
Best of luck in what ever you do.
