My life as a quadriplegic

On April 28, 2009 my life came to a turning point.  It changed in an instant.  My Jeep fell off the down ramp and flipped 2 or 3 times and I broke my neck in two places and from then on my life will never be the same.  I went through Intensive Care, after that I went through Rehab for about a month and a half, then I was transferred to where I am now, a Neurocare Center specializing in Spinal Cord Injury.  In the beginning I felt alone.  I wouldn't come out of my room and participate in any activities.  I felt that my life was so limited because I couldn't move.  I felt like I could never be the man that I was so I let go of my relationship with my girlfriend.  I isolated a lot, but I never forgot what part God played in this.  I was warned over and over to change and stop doing the things that I was doing that were negative toward God.  I believe that in this injury God saved my life.  He is the supreme Father and he chastised me.  Slowly I began to change.  I started participating in some of the activities they offer.  I found that I could do new things.  The Lord put me exactly where I needed to be.  I take therapy sessions and I have a lot of professional people that really care.  If I had to give another quadriplegic any advice the first thing I would say is don't give up on God or yourself.  Take a new outlook on life.  Life is worth living even in the condition that you are in.  Hold your head up and be a man.  Your life is not over, it just took another turn and we have to learn to deal with it.  It's as simple as that.
