Bionic woman helps others thrive after paralysis

Basalt, Colorado (CNN)Amanda Boxtel was 24 years old when she lay in a hospital bed, unable to move her legs.

A doctor came in to tell her she would never walk again — that her skiing accident had shattered four vertebrae and she was paralyzed from the waist down.
“I was an athlete. I was a dancer; an aerobics dancer with big hair in the ’80s,” said Boxtel, now 50. “I felt invincible. And that all changed in a split second.”
