From. You to me 🤕👨🏿‍🦯Keep. Standing 📖🏥🏆

I am AC7 complete I am curious if she had any surgeries to help her such as epidermal stimulation or anything like that?

One of the greatest moments, greatest days of our lives was on that day at Project Walk- the day that this happened and was recorded, was the day that we saw our first glimpse of what “CAN be”, and moved away from the mental space of “this is all it will ever be.” A very critical time when JD, a newly injured high C/3, (4 & 5) ASIA A,”complete” quadriplegic, who began peddling a bike ALL ON HIS OWN ACCORD using EVERY OUNCE of his being in making this possible. There is no science known to man that can emulate, replicate, or even explain this concept or reality, but a very real concept nonetheless. A great memory that will forever live on in our hearts & minds that helped us overcome many obstacles that existed within us, both physically but more so, emotionally. And this was a journey that only my son could experience however, I stayed with him, at his side some days, and behind him on others, every single moment on that journey with him. My own personal goals were to follow his lead once he was aware that he could hold that position within himself. SCI is not just a physical injury, it is an injury so cruel and so difficult that it’s impossible to separate the physical injury from the emotional injury of not only trying to come to terms with such an injury, but to LIVE with it all of its many fractured pieces that accompany it too. SCI is a full encompassing condition because it takes over every single aspect of your life, that typically accompanies complete isolation, from not only YOUR OWN world, but also to the rest of the world that exists around you, and that is when you first realize the separation of those two worlds, one world you are now a prisoner of, the other that goes on without you in it, mainly because the world “out there”, is not equipped, prepared or even cognizant of such an injury/lifestyle- (or should I say, existence), because that is typically what someone who has suffered such a traumatic catastrophic injury such as a SCI, or a TBI feels like; they feel invisible to a world that was at one time their oyster, but in the blink of an eye they have become invisible and obsolete like the grain of sand amongst an ocean of painful isolation, uncertainty and doubt. Just think of a time when you were walking on a beach admiring the ocean and the waves, the tremendous force of nature that lies before you, in awe of its beauty and its strength; but never once thinking about a single grain of sand that is beneath your feet or the countless grains that lay as the foundation that holds all that magnificent water and power- and in becoming “just a grain of sand” is to essentially be nonexistent because one grain of sand is incapable of holding all that water and because of that knowledge, we only acknowledge ALL of the sand, but as a whole - and that’s because we never think about one of those grains that lie amongst the countless other grains of sand as of any importance. But the one thing that separates a grain of sand from the entirety of all the sand around it, is that one grain of sand can become the coveted pearl. It is one grain of sand that takes on the tumultuous beating of a relentless and unforgiving sea that shows it no mercy whatsoever. But does that one grain of sand give up? It is what it is and nothing more but by the motion of the waters around it, it can be shaped by culturing the changes of metamorphosis that changes it into BECOMING that pearl. And I myself have said many times before when faced with my own personal lifelong challenges that, “I AM the grain of sand, BECOMING THE PEARL.” And once the grain has become the pearl, we all look in amazement at that beautiful pearl but no one ever thinks about the abuse, the battering, the painfully long process that this one pearl had to endure while it was still yet just a grain of sand- but none of that matters anymore because it made it to pearlhood- lol. But I think about it. When I see a pearl, I see supernatural strength of something so small, so tiny, so helpless & so obsolete that had to contend with an ever-changing sea of uncertainty, all while trusting the process despite how difficult it may have been, to ultimately becoming that coveted pearl. A broken body is extremely challenging, but a broken mind is what keeps us trapped in that broken body. But like I have told JD from the immediate onset of his injury, while he was still laying in the trauma center ICU in a hospital bed, in a coma, on life support, on a ventilator, & with no “hope of survival let alone any recovery”, (according to all of his doctors) but I would whisper in his ear multiple times each day while I would touch his forehead & his body, while saying, “NEVER allow THIS (I would be touching his body, and then would quickly touch his forehead indicating the power of his MIND & brain) to control THIS” -his mind- essentially reminding him that his body was not in charge of what was happening to him, but rather it was his MIND that had the incredible power of taking control over all of it. And one must NEVER underestimate the power of one’s mind. It is within the mind that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. The mind MUST be reminded of this at all times because it is very easy to become depressed, despondent and to give up, to sadly accept an existence in a world of despair because of being told by countless doctors and specialists, “You will NEVER have ANY function, ever again. You will never walk again. You will never move or use your limbs again. You will never BREATHE on your own again. You will never have control over your entire body, externally or internally ever again. You will NEVER have any feeling again, never have any QUALITY of life ever again. You must ACCEPT this as there are no cures, and no possibility of positive change that will ever come from this injury so you just have to learn to live with it, and accept it.” But I did NOT allow such bleak & weak minded thinking to become OUR reality or OUR norm- quite the contrary. I believe in the power of each person. I believe in that incredible source of beautiful energy that makes each of us WHO WE ARE as individuals. It is our hardships, but more so what we did when faced with those challenges in our lives, it is that inner essence of who we are, that determines our outcome in life, but more importantly, our outlook on life which is more important & more valuable than anything else. If you plant the seeds of what is POSSIBLE, and remove the seeds of doubt and IMPOSSIBILITIES, than anything really IS POSSIBLE. After all, the word “IMPOSSIBLE” really means, “I’M POSSIBLE” and only I have the power & the ability to make that distinction in my life. When faced with challenges, we must find new ways to recreate, reinvent ourselves by the way we look at ourselves and everything around us, instead of focusing only on the problems that lie before us. If we only focused on the problems, then we would never advance and grow into the best versions of ourselves which is crucial in our own survival and personal development. lt is by acknowledging that fact that can allow us to find the path of perseverance, otherwise we will be lost forever and that is the worst possible place to be. That is the most important aspect of allowing ourselves to becoming whole again, but more so in a more mentally conscious and meaningful manner that allows us to have the foundation of a new beginning. So never look at your problems as the end of you- and rather focus on how they will help you create your new beginning instead. Perseverance is not a trait- it is a goal that we must always strive for, it is a conditioning that we MUST learn to cultivate- a strength in learning new ways in overcoming the many obstacles that lie before us, and like the great Chinese Proverb, and the words of Confucius, we must always remember that, “the man who moves mountains, walks away with one pebble at a time.” Those words can be, and should be your mantra no matter what your “mountain” may consist of as we all have our own mountains to climb, but our first goal is to reach its summit, and after that, well, the sky’s the limit because the greatest obstacle has been tackled, meaning what’s next is up to you. Never give up. Never surrender. BE the change that you wish to see in the world, starting with yourself because you must be cognizant of the POWER that you possess, before you can make the necessary changes in your own development and destiny. Success is not an ending point- it is an ongoing process that allows us to reach yet another milestone along the long road that we call “life.” Most importantly while on your journey, ALWAYS recognize and CELEBRATE the small victories as these are the fuel needed in order to stay the course. Each small victory is what fuels the source of our internal motivation that catapults us into the next step. We are all guilty of becoming complacent in our lives, we are always looking for the next “big thing” but one day we will all look back on our own lives, and realize that it was all the little things that not only made it worthwhile, but also made you WHO you are….not to mention that we will always face and experience way more “little things” in life - way more than we will ever experience those long awaited“big things” to come, so always be mindful of that. To everyone who reads this, remember every word and remember that YOU have the power to move all mountains. To my beautiful, incredible, amazing son JD, your drive and your innate ability for success is what will always keep you shining on as the brightest among all the stars above us…I love you to the moon and back baby, and everywhere in between, wherever life takes us. There was a reason why you were named JD Silver Moon; 🌕 🪶 and by your own incredible shining example, you show all of us that reason why….each& every day. Wa-Do, Love you always… ~Mom✨ ✨✌🏽💜

Thats huge! Vongratulations . Is your injury complete?

I had an accident over 16 months ago. I broke multiple bones including my leg in several places. My spinal cord injury of C 4, 5 & 6 went undiagnosed for eleven months. Then I had emergency surgery on my spine. I’m eight weeks post op and working in home with OT & PT. It’s been hell in no shorter sentence. I have two other major disadvantages… one I’m transgender, so no rehabilitation would accept me after all my multiple surgeries. Two, I live far in the country… almost an hour to civilization… so I’ve been doing most of learning to stand and walk on my own. I bought a pet stroller and put my fat cat in it and used her to balance me as I walked up and down my hallways. I have trouble making it up and down the stairs. I have to sit and scoot. It’s been an undignified rehab to say the least. I’m not a quitter though. I just am unsure of where to turn next. My drs treat me because they have to but they have made their beliefs known clearly that my kind are not considhuman here in the south. Recently I was asked to leave a dr office because he refused to treat me… he wasn’t the first and won’t be the last. I could use real guidance before I can’t anymore

Awesome ❤❤❤

My brother is on his third surgery due to Marfan. The second surgery, he had a foot amputated and in February, had the AAA surgery and has since unable to walk (due to a spinal cord infrared). I just need help because he feels so alone, not knowing if he'll ever walk again nor can anyone relate to what he is going through. Would you @projectwalk be willing to connect with him, just to share your thoughts and recovery victory?

😇

May Jesus lift you up in Word and into righteousness work of the Spirit. Jesus name. Amen.
