Kevin Everett has taken his first steps with a walker
Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett made a statement Wednesday saying he feels lucky to be alive. This was his first public statement since he suffered a catastrophic neck injury on September 9th against the Denver, Broncos. His statement was delivered by Houston’s Memorial Hermann Hospital where he is currently being rehabilitated. He announced that he was able to take a few steps with a walker and has been able to move in his wheelchair. Each is a triumph for such an injury. Most victims of catastrophic inj uries are not so fortunate. Often years of rehabilitation and huge sums of money are dedicated to the support and medical provisioning of the affected person. Although the news is positive for Everett, most catastrophic injury patients’ outcomes are not.
