According to that article, he does have feeling in his lower extremities. And, yes, he is a tough one.
Abbott was paralyzed in 1984 when a tree fell on him while he was jogging. He uses a wheelchair, but still has functioning nerve receptors in his legs and feet, according to the AP. The burns are just as painful for him as they would be for anyone.
