TALK WITH OTHERS
"I thank God every day I am alive, walking, talking and mobile. I, too, broke my neck…and am fortunate enough to be alive and not suffer spinal cord damage. … I have been in therapy for four-and-a-half years and see a great deal of patients with different injuries. If anyone asks about why I am in therapy, I say I am blessed to be alive and should be like Christopher Reeve."
