Spent 2 and a half weeks in a coma(and 89 units of blood), two months in the hospital and 18 months before I could even take one step. Six months later I was able to put away the walker and wheelchair and walk with a cane.

Never regained full function in the leg and my mobility is limited but I can walk a bit with a cane.
