Sunday

A spinal cord injury left me in the same state, suddenly always having to walk with a cane or walker and barely able to stand up. Not to even mention the chronic pain. It’s a hard change to suddenly have to become acclimated to that way of life. Sometimes the anger is just a relief to the frustration of it all. I know, and wish you the best in your recovery.
