Paraplegic man walks again after spider bite

It seems a paraplegic man who was confined to a wheelchair for 20 years is now walking again. He was hospitalized after being bitten by a Brown Recluse spider. It was there that a nurse noticed his leg spasm and ran a test on him.

"When they zapped my legs, I felt the current; I was like 'whoa' and I yelled," he said. He felt the current and the rush of renewed sense of hope. The nurse said "Your nerves are alive; they're just asleep". The man is now out of rehab and on his feet and walking.
