((HT: WIVB-TV Buffalo))
A University at Buffalo wrestler is walking on his own and will continue his rehabilitation at home a little over a month after sustaining a life-threatening spinal cord injury.
Dan Bishop was released from a rehabilitation center in Schenectady, N.Y., the school announced on Tuesday. Bishop returned home to his home in the New York town of Whitehall a day after he spent 45 minutes walking unassisted.
He will continue to get therapy as an outpatient. Bishop said he intends to return to UB to walk on stage to get his diploma during graduation ceremonies next month.
He sustained a fracture between two vertebrae and damage to a major artery on March 6 during a Mid-American Conference semifinal match.
Here's video from our friends at UBSpectrum when Bishop started moving his limbs on his own...
And here's an interview with Bishop that George Rickert conducted with him in his hospital room, thanks to our friends at WIVB-TV...
The HQ will keep rooting for Bishop during his rehab and hopes he gets his wish...
