Each cell in the body has a lifespan based on the type of cell it is. You may never get 100% but you may get close. It just takes longer for nerves. Eric statler here (he's in and out of this forum) I'm not sure how long it's been since his battle and surgery but he's started going for therapy and now able to move his mouth etc... Where before he wasn't. Kudos to you for troubleshooting and coming up with solutions. Hugs
