As young adults we all had different kinds of dreams that someday we would have
a family and live out are wildest dreams.But in the real world things are not as they seem,one fine morning you wake up and like others you go off to work and after a long hard day you might want to relax..maybe on the beach or how about doing some shoping or even playing some ball with the kids.In life the worst can strike at anytime and for me like others it did just that!One cold day in june was the turning point in my life and to this very day i go over and over what happened and ask..Why me!I did everything for myself and ask no one for help..fixed my car and maintained my home and when something was broke i fixed it.I dont think of myself as someone who cannot walk,I wake up and look at my leggs as if they were someone elses.Today I get little sleep because of pain..at times its so bad i do nothing but screem.I have learned alot about people in wheelchairs and i know that the Cushion seat is a big part of the chair.when i got out of the hospital they gave me this gel cushion in turn i was back in the hospital 10mos later because of bed sores.Now i have a RoHo Dry Floatation coshion.The cost is around 4-500 dollars but there worth there weight in gold.They also have a roho for your car seat and the cost is around 2-300 dollars.I thank god for the life i had and for whatever life i my have ahead!I still take care of myself 100%..The doctors look at me stupid when i explain my pain so ill have to deal with this problem for the rest of my life.
For anyone going through what im going through my Heart goes out to you and I know your pain and your fears.Where do we go from here and what does tomorrow bring.No matter how hard it may be you get out of that bed and keep living.dont let SCI take you out! God Bless.......Stiggy
