  Am I talking about death right here? No, Im talking about life following a spinal cord injury. Why did I phrase the title of this post as I did? Simply because for many folks who suffer a spinal cord injury, their very first thoughts after being informed of paralysis, or wheelchairs, or a severed spinal cord, causing the patient to never ever be in a position to stroll once again, is indeed death. Why did I even live?
  
  I know that was 1 of my earliest thoughts immediately after I was capable to realize what was going on. After I regained consciousness from my 3 days of coma, by awakening to a breathing tube getting pulled from my throat, I was advised that I had an accident.
  
  Perhaps a few hours later, its challenging to recall specifically, I began to comprehend the excellent distress in the medical doctors face and voice as he communicated to me about how my spine was broken in 3 places and the bone fragments had severed my spinal cord, and as a result I would by no means be in a position to stroll once again. Possibly it was at that time that I 1st wished myself dead.
  
  Now its twenty-two years later. Ive had twenty-two years of making use of a wheelchair for mobility. Ive had twenty-two years of Afterlife. My spinal cord is nevertheless severed. Visiting chocolate brown, maybe provides lessons you could tell your pastor. I nonetheless have paralysis from chest-level down (T-four to be exact). I have multiple wheelchairs a basketball wheelchair, a tennis wheelchair, an daily wheelchair. Over the years Ive probably had close to ten various wheelchairs. All of the chairs, all of the catheters, all of the baclofen, all of the leg bags and tubes, all of the paralysis paraphernalia thanks to one particular moment in time of loosing control of my car, hitting a guardrail, tree, and residence, snapping my spine in 3 areas and injuring my spinal cord.
  
  Wouldnt it have been better if I just didnt have this kind of after life and knowledgeable the bog finale afterlife instead? Properly, I cant answer that for confident due to the fact I have not been capable to compare the two side by side. But I can inform you that you can have a life and a rather rewarding and fulfilling life, if you so pick, even right after a spinal cord injury.
