Transverse Myelitis: the inside story

By Glenn Hartz

“It’s an autoimmune storm. Came and went and left its damage at C1. All gone now – except the scar. Might come back. Don’t know . . .”

Every time I got sick in the past I could eventually return to my familiar life.

This was different. I limp. My right arm is palsied and slow.

The inside story of my journey through loss and on to hope is captured in this 6-minute video, Loss and Hope. Inspired by Christopher Reeve’s 1995 60 Minutes interview, it begins in a barren attic of limitations and ends with a lush sunrise of new possibilities.
