Janet’s Nov 9 Update

By Janet | November 9, 2008

Below is Bud’s post below regarding Peter’s progress and the video the Miami Project produced to tell Peter’s story as part of their annual fund raising.

Just to clarify Bud’s first paragraph.  We’re praying and hoping that Peter will regain the sensation (feeling) below his injury level at T-9.  Approximately at the belly button.  Right now he has zero sensation. Even though he is paralyzed he does know where his legs are in space.  Meaning he cannot feel anything when we touch his legs, but to Peter his legs feel like they are asleep all the time.  He has the huge buzzing sensation that we all have experienced from time to time which is the nerve pain.  He has opted not to take the medicine to relieve the nerve pain that he has 24/7 because of the associated side effects. In fact he has opted out of all pain medication for the same reason.  I’m grateful he has great control….because sometimes I can tell it’s pretty bad.
