Answering your questions about being paralyzed.. (Find out how I became paralyzed) 

This lady is a inspiration

Dude I feel like 2022 was the worst year. I got injured at work in March 2022 and found out it's permanent later in the year after a shit ton of physical therapy. I was a machinist for 4 years, and now I'm struggling to find a desk job to pay for medical and insurance bills. Though, the worst part was when people say that I'm too young to have this happen to me. Like yeah maybe I am, but it happened, you saying that adds absolutely nothing. I started college this year for psychology, and it's gonna be a long road, but I'm glad I started it. I can't imagine what this is like, or how difficult this has been for you, but I think I know how you feel. Having a chronic disability is awful, and having it this early in life is just a twist of the knife. I don't know your story or journey, but I'm glad you seem to be happier now than you were earlier. Godspeed to you and everyone else dealing with cosmically cruel shit like this

Very Inspirational, don’t give up! 💪

Hello, I am an occupation therapist and work stroke patients. The best method for regaining sensory function and neuromuscular function I use is intense and deep tactile stimulation. That means using my hands or different kind of brushes to tap on the body part. Starting with low intensity, then increasing it. I stop once the skin is really red. Jesus please help her. Amen

So it wasn't a spinal stroke? Unfortunately things like this seem to be surprisingly common with heart surgeries and procedures. I had a spinal stroke below my spinal injury (nor surgery related) but I met two others in the spinal ward who were there after heart surgery. One was a stroke and the other they didn't seem to know exactly why - which is similar to your case, it sounds like.

How did heart surgery lead to paralysis? A stroke? Position during surgery?
