Now, a month later, Harry still can't remember much of what happened.
When he first woke up in the hospital, it was several hours after the accident and he wasn't sure where he was.
The bad news was that he couldn't move his legs.
This was because his back had been broken in the accident.
The doctors later told him that he might never regain the use of his legs.
Some of the nerves in his spine and legs had been damaged, but everything else was okay.
nerve 英[nɜːv]美[nɜːrv] n.神经; 神经质; 神经紧张; 勇气; 气魄; 鲁莽; vt.鼓足勇气; 振作精神;
spine英[spaɪn]美[spaɪn] n.脊柱; 脊椎; (植物的)刺; (动物的)刺毛; 书脊;
Now Harry is trying to figure out what to do.
If he works hard and exercises every day, there is still a chance that his legs will recover on their own.
There are also some new treatments that might help his nerves regenerate.
regenerate 英[rɪˈdʒenəreɪt]美[rɪˈdʒenəreɪt] v.使振兴; 使复兴; 发展壮大; 再生; 使再生; adj.再生的; 革新的; 改造了的;
Still, he should be prepared for a long recovery and the possibility that he might never walk again.
Without the use of his legs, he wouldn't be able to continue working in the same way.
It wouldn't be possible to travel, so he would have to find another way to attend meetings.
Either that or he would have to look for another way to make a living.
Harry has good disability insurance, so money won't be a problem for a while.
disability insurance 伤残保险
disability 英[ˌdɪsəˈbɪləti]美[ˌdɪsəˈbɪləti] n.残疾; (某种)缺陷，障碍; (指状态、身心、学习等方面的)缺陷;
But sooner or later he wants to be able to earn a living again.
Of course he isn't planning to give up on his legs.
If he works hard, he might still be able to regain their use and learn to walk again.
Some of his nerves had been damaged, but there is a chance that they will heal.
heal 英[hiːl]美[hiːl] v.治愈(病人); (使)康复，复原; 使又愉快起来; (使)结束，较容易忍受;
The new drugs being developed might make it possible for the nerves to grow back.
Still, he has to face the possibility that nothing will work.
Whatever happens, Harry is determined to think positively.
Even if he can't walk, he can still attend meetings all over the world.
With new technology he could be anywhere, and there is much that he can still do.
Luckily, he still has the use of his arms and hands, and his brain is still functioning.
With the right attitude, he can find a way forward.
attitude 英[ˈætɪtjuːd]美[ˈætɪtuːd] n.态度; 看法; 我行我素的作派; 姿势;
There is no reason for despair or feeling sorry for oneself.
despair 英[dɪˈspeə(r)]美[dɪˈsper] n.绝望; vi.绝望; 失去希望; 丧失信心;
That kind of thinking won't solve anything.
He just hopes that his company, or another company, will give him the chance to prove himself.
He can still be a valuable asset for them, come what may(不管发生什么).
asset 英[ˈæset]美[ˈæset] n.资产，财产; 有用的人(或事物)，优点，长处，有利条件;
He should be prepared for the possibility that he will never walk again.
He had just arrived on a flight from London and was taking a taxi into the city.
New technologies allow for virtual meetings where people can meet through remote connections.
