A Long Road Back From Paralysis

In this episode I give an update on my progress, including the fact that I have lost almost 100 pounds. I hope it will stay lost. I also cover more about Encompass Health and why I think it is a great model for the rest of the healthcare system in this country.

I continued my recovery at home, got 2 new knees and fell off a bed!

What has falling off a cliff at age 10 have to do with my current recovery? I survived that ordeal with a strong desire to live and recover. Maybe what I found at 10 helped me at 75.

Insurance kicked me out from hospital rehab in December 2024. I moved to a skilled nursing facility and remained there for 64 days.

This episode contains a lot of material, including my introduction and treatment, a dropped ball that nearly killed me, wheelchair humor, and a musical fart.

I fell and did not know I had damaged T-11 and T-12 in my spine. Things got worse and paralysis set in over time. I could not make the wedding and am still sad about that. My story continues...

Welcome to my podcast. My name is Trent Fox, and this podcast will focus on my recovery from spinal damage and paralysis. It turns out that bad arthritic knees caused me to fall. Recovery has been going on for almost a year and a half, and I'm still months away from walking somewhat normally. I will walk again! This is my story.
