No, medicine and technology weren't that advanced in my world yet. But I was still lucky that they were advanced enough to keep me alive, that might not have been the case if I'd been born a few decades before. And I was lucky that society started realizing people like me were people around the time of my accident so I could continue my education like I did. But part of why I got into the field I did was the hope that some other world might have a cure for me. And that did happen, although not quite in the way I expected it to.

I don't know if I actually would now, but if I did want to I would have to at the very least go through quite a lot of physical training to make up for all the years my muscles deteriorated from disuse. I think I'm actually happy working where I am now, and I did get to see the stars in a rather unconventional way still.
