My Stem Cell Treatment!

From my limited understanding, once you suffer damage to a part of your brain, it sort of "reroutes" everything to try to compensate. Well since it has been rerouted for a long time at this point, it might not use the news parts from the procedure as much as someone with a more recent brain injury. However, I'd still think it'd be valuable information to study someone with an older brain injury and could definitely still benefit you.
I don't think they're worried about studying anything since they're a legit stem cell place and have it all down, as opposed to the trial that I had originally applied to be in where I was just a guinea pig.  

If you meant that you think it still would have been beneficial to them, I agree, but it was a controlled experiment, so everything had to be similar.

I agree about rerouting, but it's obviously not completely rerouted because then I'd be able to function normally, so hopefully the new parts take back over.  

Like I said, with how much I exercise my mind in thinking and how much I workout my body at the gym and even just get in-and-out of my chair multiple so much, I'm hoping my brain is still on the level that it was right after the wreck, meaning that the stem cells work just as well as they would have if we had gotten it done not long after the wreck.

Like I said, though, it still hasn't even set-in as a possibility, and I love my life as-is, so I'm still good, even if I don't get this.

Completely sucks sitting in limbo, but I actually haven't been thinking about it too much.......  just trying to present to schools, schedule more, workout, and living life like I always do.

He said they were in meetings discussing last week, which gives me hope and thinking maybe they're setting up a time, figuring out the best place for injection or the best type of stem cells, or just getting all the medical stuff in order because, if it was a no, they'd just say no.
