This just occurred to me: is Bella breaking her spine a reference to the original?

In canon, Bella starts turning with a broken spine, although not at the neck - about halfway down. It heals itself partway through. I got the idea from there.

I wondered about something (this may reflect my ignorance of physiology)... how could she talk while the spine was broken at the neck? Doesn't one kind of need control over the lungs? (Hence control of the diaphram?)

No idea. If a handwave is medically necessary, she was in the middle of turning into a magical vampire.
