You had incomplete fracture C5 and had Tetraplegia with partial recovery now. In my opinion since these injuries are nasty and the recovery is very slow and painful , your recovery is very good. I think that rou will have further improvement in functions as you regain muscle power and control. Continue your rehabilitation program as prescribed. </s>
