ABOUT ME

My name is Danny Gray, but most American Indians call me Sitting Quad. I had just completed two years at the University of South Florida when on July 9, 2005 a hit and run vehicle knocked me off my motorcycle cracking my C-1, breaking my C-4, dislocating my C-4 from my C-5, and shattering my C-6 vertebrae in my neck. Since it was about 2 a.m. it took over an hour for a passing motorist to find me with my motorcycle on top of me. After another hour waiting for a tow truck to get my bike off of me and then getting transported to the hospital I finally arrived to Tampa General where I waited over the weekend for a doctor to perform surgery on me.

1 plate, 2 bars, many screws and a cadaver bone later I'm back to normal... except for the small part about now being a quadriplegic paralyzed from the neck down. HaHa. It was a life-changing experience which shows you who your real friends are. It could be much worse though since everything from my neck up works normally, I have a roof over my head, food on the table and a great family to take care of me. Luckily I got saved, so if God's plan is for me to be paralyzed then I'm fine with that.

In the summer I will be traveling to China to receive stem cell injections into my spinal cord. Currently the procedure is still in the beginning phases so it hasn't been perfected yet. Everyone who received the injections so far, has gained strength and a little more movement than they had before. Most people don't regain much, but it's worth a try since any more movement would be awesome.

Thanks to my voice activated computer I can control my television, air-conditioning, lights and do pretty much anything I could do before on the Internet. Thank God for technology, I don't know what cripples years ago did without it. So if you want to know more about me, you can message me anytime.INTERESTS
