I have a family member who suffered something similar in a ski accident, was flown to UMass Medical to stabilize, and after close to a month went to Atlanta for 10 weeks. I was a little surprised, as I think the Spaulding Rehab in Boston is world class, but he went there to give him the best chance at recovery and resuming life (not as normal but as the new normal).
