Alisha Metcalf was watching her husband, Matt, join his Cub Scout troop on a homemade slip-and-slide when she noticed his body turn awkwardly as he went down the slide. A bulging disc in Matt's neck had immediately paralyzed him from the neck down. After spinal fusion surgery and hard work at the Sutter Rehabilitation Institute, Matt is now walking again and is determined to come back even better than before his injury.
