A hockey player paralyzed in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash says he is thrilled with the progress he’s made since receiving spinal surgery in Thailand a month ago. It’s good work,” Straschnitzki said in an interview from Bangkok with The Canadian Press. It kind of scared me a little bit, but again it was pretty excited,” Straschnitzki said.

Health Canada says it has licensed spinal cord stimulators but only for pain relief.
