Kevin Swindell continues to recover from a back injury that he suffered at Knoxville Raceway in August.\u00a0Swindell, who is currently at the Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville, Ky., posted an update on his condition on his Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon. Swindell reveals that he currently has no mobility below his waist.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day since I\u2019ve been here life has gotten better,\u201d Swindell said. \u201cMore mobile. More self sufficient. I have no mobility below my waist but sensation in several places.\u201cI\u2019m taking part in some new studies which I\u2019m the earliest along in recovery they\u2019ve ever had, which looks promising. Tomorrow I start a more outpatient type program within that study to start stimulating and waking everything back up,\u201d Swindell said.\u201cThe hardest part of this is just patience, giving everything time to heal and swelling to go down before we really know where I\u2019m at,\u201d Swindell said. \u201cSpinal cord swelling takes three to six months so there\u2019s really no way to put a time frame on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swindells broken vertebrates will require 8 hour surgeries each to repair them.\u00a0 Donations can be made to: Kevin Swindell Recovery Fund, c\/o Spire Sports + Entertainment, P.O. Box 638, Cornelius, N.C. 28031.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
