CALGARY—A Calgary woman who is now paralyzed after police say she was pushed in front of an oncoming transit train is awake from life-saving surgery and feels thankful to be alive, her son says.

Allan Hein says his mother, Rozalia (Rose) Meichl, doesn’t remember much of the incident on Nov. 8 afternoon on a platform near Stampede Park where she was allegedly shoved from behind onto the tracks, but knows she can’t feel her legs.
