Sports: The Motivation Behind My Recovery
My number one gaol was not to walk again, it was to have one more at bat at the collegiate level. The video shows how RIC and the therapists tried to make that goal come to life, what I learned and how I adapted to the new way of athletics with a spinal cord injury.

Movement!!
มุมมอง 4.9K7 ปีที่แล้ว
The first time I moved after paralysis and the emotions, thought and excitement of it all. June 23, 2011 brought so much hope and morale to the entire family for the future and my recovery potential.
First Days of PT
มุมมอง 7K7 ปีที่แล้ว
My first days of physical therapy at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago were primarily focused on learning how to move efficiently and live effectively in a wheelchair. Transfers were the first step to achieving independence because it meant doing things as simple as getting out of bed or going to the bathroom on a toilet by yourself. FREEDOM.
Road to RIC

Talking about my journey from ICU to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, why I chose to go to RIC and the overall process of recovery there.
what the heck happened??
มุมมอง 5K7 ปีที่แล้ว
So what actually happened in that operating room and what caused the paralysis? Tune in to hear what the surgeon told us happened during surgery, what actually happened, how we found out and the emotional rollercoaster of it all.
one word: trust
มุมมอง 9047 ปีที่แล้ว
It can be extremely difficult to trust a body that isn't always responding to what your brain is telling it to do, but if you don't trust in yourself, others and the process of progression then your goals will never be achieved. Trust requires you to overcome fears and start turning "I can't" into "I can" and believe that impossible is nothing.
Challenges of Being Paralyzed
มุมมอง 4.6K7 ปีที่แล้ว
People always ask: What is the most difficult part of being paralyzed? This question is an easy one and a hard one to answer. The simple answer is EVERYTHING, but there are so many specific answers that could have me talking for hours. This video shares just a few of the most obvious challenges I face in my daily life, but certainly does not cover all of them.
What Does Paralyzed Mean?
มุมมอง 18K7 ปีที่แล้ว
So often people associate the word paralyzed with immobility, but there is so much more to being paralyzed. In most cases the biggest struggles that come with paralysis are the ones that cannot be seen.
thirteen minutes of FEAR

    Thanks for telling your story. I wonder if the complications during your surgery were actually caused by a surgical error such as one of the screws they tried to insert accidentally damaged your spinal cord. I would be looking into that because if they screwed up and it caused you to be paralyzed you need to get paid a lot of money.Good luck with everything and it sucks that your life had to change. Just be strong everyday and live the best life you can.

    Always research your surgeon. If you can find a nurse who works in that hospital, buy them lunch or something- find out who is the real top dog. All the nurses will know. Without that inside intel, you will never know. No, most online reviews will tell you very little. Some of the best surgeons have the worse websites and bed side manner. They are so good, they have no one to impress. Look also for BOARD CERTIFIED, FELLOWSHIP TRAINED surgeon. If someone has about 10-15 years of experience post graduation, that is often a sweet spot. It means to me that their training is fairly recent and they are likely on top of their game and physically capable- vision, muscles, brain likely still sharp. Some surgeons operate well into their 70's and that is just too long. More mistakes will happen. There are of course exceptions, but as a general rule this is true.

    Thank you for your openness with your story. I'm dealing with a possibly simular story and am unsure on what to do. A couple of years ago i had my 2nd c-spine fusion. Aboutt 6 months after i started having leg spasms which have been progressively been getting worse. They have reached such a bad level that my walking has got worse and we had another surgery to put in a baxlofen pump. It puts medicine into my spinal canal to help with my spasms. I didn't make a co conection until my neurologist said that my surgeon may have nicked my cord and caused this problem. He later also said that my cyst in my thorasic spine may also have been the cause. Still i a questioning state as to weather or not to seak legal advice on this. What do you and your people think? Thanks again for sharing. It helps.

    I saw your other blog and was wondering how this could happen. My sister had the same surgery and thank goodness did okay. The medical field can be a big hiding game. It is a business, like any other, unsatisfactory outcomes tant the business, hence the lies. I have worked in this field my whole life and has taught me to be very educated and question anything that does not make sense. Beside what they think, they are not god, doctors make mistakes too. Maybe he came to see you everyday out of guilt, they know when a mistake happens, he will live with this the rest of his life as well. Not as much the mistake as the lie.

  • @teresafraser3049

    I was diagnosed with Scoliosis of the spine at 10 years of age that my family Doctor suggested to be placed in a body cast for minimum of one year. He said that would probably be followed by surgery. From the moment of diagnosis I had a deep rooted feeling to never go along with proticol from the Doctor which I was so happy I did. I was extremely athletic coupled with extreme pain in my back but just took the time needed to heal and went right back to my sports once feeling a bit better. But as years went on while and after having two children the pain was sometimes unbearable. I persevered because I knew that if I chose surgery it would result in a 50% chance of becoming paralyzed and knowing I still cared for two children it wasn't an chance I wanted to take. Thankfully from my 40's plus I have abosikuteky no more back pain that I'm extremely grateful for. I applied inner release work based upon the emotions that were causing my back pain and urge you or anyone else to please contemplate seeing that physical pain is directly connected to our emotional pain.
