An Inspiring True story of How he Made it back after a devastating Plane crash that left him almost a “VEGETABLE”.

My
Story begins on March 10 1981.This day really changed my whole life.It was a
day I would never forget.I crashed an airplane
and ended up in a hospital completely paralyzed.
My spinal Cord was
crushed,I broke the first and second cervical vertebrae,my swallowing reflex
was destroyed,I couldn’t eat or drink,my diaphragm was destroyed,couldn't breathe,all
I could do was blink ma eyes.
The doctors of course said I would be a vegetable
the rest of ma life,All I would be able to do is blink ma eyes,that’s the
picture they saw of me but I didn't matter what they thought ,the main thing
was what I thought ,I pictured myself being a normal person again,walking out
of the hospital ,the only thing I had to work with in the hospital was my
mind,and once you have your mind you can put things together again .
“I
was hooked to a respirator and they said I would never breathe on my own again
because my diaphragm was destroyed,but a little voice kept saying to me”Breathe
Deeply” breathe deeply,and finally I was weaned from it ,there where at a loss
for an explanation.I could not afford to allow anything to come into my mind
that would distract me from my goal or vision.
I
had set a goal to walk out of the hospital on Christmas and I did ,I walked out
of the hospital on my own two feet.They
said it couldn’t be done that’s a day I would never forget.
For
people who are sitting out there right now and are hurting ,if I wanted to sum
up my life and sum up for people what
they can do in life ,I would sum it up in six words: “Man becomes What he THINKS
about”…..
In all these if he could make it out of the hospital defying doctors predictions,and today works free as can be,then what is your excuse?
