Why Did You Jump Off A Cliff?? - Q&A

A few weeks ago I shared my paralysis story (watch that here: • How I became paralyzed... ) where I stated that I jumped off a cliff. I forgot to elaborate on why I jumped off a cliff so I received many questions about why I would jump off a cliff. Today I will answer that question as well as clarify why I am a quadriplegic and not a paraplegic. I also answer the question of if we have any pets :)
Let us know what other questions you have and we will answer those as well.

[@Nan-59]

Now, that is a really good point you made. If you’re gonna get paralyzed, you will get paralyzed and that’s just the way it is. And the story about the guy in the car really proves that. Well…. I don’t know if it proves anything, but it sure did make me understand your point really well! I’m really glad I found your channel today❣️

[@ryanpegoraro2697]

Coco is such a cutie.

[@marianne57]

I love your channel. I know why your husband chose you to be his wife and a Mom to your three adorable daughters. You are beautiful, fun, and caring. Your personality is contagious. Your dogs are amazing with each showing their love to your family for loving them and giving them a home. ❤️🤗

[@natalieholbrook9787]

I love the way your husband looks at you.With such love in his eyes.Hope the best for you and your family.

[@noahroad6577]

It’s amazing (and a little perplexing) that you are so casual and cheerful about all of this. You would think that you would come across far more severe and grave. Especially when talking about jumping off the cliff and your broken bones jutting out all over the place. Well, your strong enough to handle the situation is all I can say. I’m both perplexed and inspired.

[@salinakhan-razzaq9614]

Good lesson for people to not leave a newbie to explore by themselves

[@imogenoliver]

I can’t explain emotions or feelings very well but I feel I guess lighter and better when I watch your videos, so thankyou for that 🥰.

[@wandalester8624]

Mobley and Charlie are the sweetest looking dogs. Coco, is growing fast! She is a sweetheart!

[@Jamb1967]

The amount of good spirit that you both emit is amazing

What I love about y'all is just keep on Rollin 😁😁😁👍

[@crawfordshelly]

Thank you for being wonderful blessings! I enjoy your videos and look forward to you posting more. You are so full of kindness, love, and joy I can’t stop smiling through your videos! Have you thought about doing mini encouragement devotions? Maybe include a favorite encouraging verse and what it means to you in your life. Thank you for sharing you and your family!

[@Rubymoon286]

You are so joyful! I am like you, I don't think I can not have a dog in my life

[@mars4697]

Question…..do you remember what you said to yourself as you were falling? Did you every want to “go to the other side” then stay in this life being paralyzed? Do you ever feel sorry for yourself?

[@pauladuncan1729]

I love your channel. You are such a beautiful family!

[@sharonmurphy4961]

You are such an inspiration Meg! I’m wondering how did you and your husband meet? You are always smiling so happy! I love that! 🥰😍I can tell you’re husband loves you so much!

[@Elizabeth-tg7jo]

Thanks for explaining the #s and visual description! I understand the injury better now. I landed here from a prior post - how does one just leap off a 45ft cliff? It sounds like spatial distortion - I’ve experienced it once each while scuba diving and flying a Cessna. The environment can make one thing seem like another. Wish you both well,

[@daniellec2172]

Finally found the answer LOL! Good to know to watch out for this if I ever head over to this area.

[@sued1116]

I have this problem with cats. Have to have one. I was single most of life, then I found someone and he died of cancer, no kids. So widow cat lady here. You are definitely an inspiration, God Bless your family💞🌹🙏

[@GoFishOffice]

Glad you clarified :)

[@unpopularopinions9076]

I adore this family ♥️

[@crazyauntieapril5380]

Awwwe...Coco is soooo adorable! If you don't mind...before the accident...Meg and Whit, how did you two meet and what was your first date? And then, Whit, how did you hear about the accident and what was your first post-accident date?

[@cloramurphy3838]

I just love you both

[@pauladuncan1729]

I'm fairly new to your channel and I probably missed this: but how did you two meet? You are such a adorable couple!

[@melaniecox7816]

Hello Meg and husband! I came a cross your channel and happy I did I just subscribed too. You are very bubbly and sweet and look forward to more videos

[@marinagarzal.m.t3323]

My Question is are you in pain ? Do you get headaches since you broke your neck ? Do you get massages ??? You look so happy , but I'm sure you have your ups & downs .. Be safe & take care ...

[@howiroll740]

Meg, as a C7 do you use your pectoral muscles or your diaphram to breathe? Do you have any abdominal muscle control? I'm a C 5/6 incomplete quad, but after 28 years I have some abdominal muscle control but no pectoral muscles or triceps. Some C7's also have control of their thumbs and index and middle fingers. Not a full grip, but better than nothing. Thanks for sharing your life.

[@melittafrost2548]

Are there any new techniques where you might have more movement in future?

[@BrickbyBrick4U]

Your baby is SO CUTE!

[@Sarahchip]

What is your everyday life like as far as pain and repercussions from the injury?

[@tracymontgomery1266]

How do you do the baby stage of crawling and such when you can’t really get down to grab her or stop her from getting into things? I know the baby isn’t there yet but when the other girls were little

[@taniapitbran6153]

please expand on complete and incomplete breaks and any other pertinent or interesting information .

[@genevieveprovencio262]

Beautiful 🤩

[@ClaireSkyColorado]

Awww, Mogli is cute 💙

[@dianajames4717]

that was my first question on another site of yours. Why the hell did you jump from a cliff? Was there a pool I am not seeing?

[@LeeHill66]

You have the most wonderful spirit and personality! Question: Your ex boyfriend, could he not handle the situation you were in?

[@mars4697]

I believe too God has a plan for each of us. I have been told I should have died more than 10 times with an undiagnosed illness. Wills, clergy, and social workers have been there to support me through the experiences. What I have learned is his doesn’t want me yet. I don’t know why but good or bad I’ll take it.

[@somethingsmatter]

Hi Meg! Your vibrant and bright personality shines so bright o can understand why anyone would want to marry you. What skill was the most difficult for you to learn after becoming a quardaplegic? Do you ever feel angry or jealous ?

[@teresafraser3049]

Did you have a Near death experience?

[@knightingalesaid]

The Giraffe has 7 cervical vertebrae like us.

[@CC-hz1qm]

I worry for the baby’s neck.

[@dearleah7299]

It’s not your job to worry about their baby.

[@CC-hz1qm]

@@dearleah7299 nope not a job.

[@leesadoe2440]

if anyone can answer this for my curiosity....why do people who already have so many kids go and get a bunch of dogs? arent kids enough to keep people happy and busy? geez...just wondering. I always wonder that because the people I run into in the park have their hands so full with the kids and the dogs that most the time either the dogs arent being watched or the kids arent... then their dogs run up and jump all over me and i hate it. and people have their hands full at home too so they let their dogs bark and bark in the yard and disturb the neighbors. My mom always "needed" dogs around too and Ive always suffered the consequences and shouldered all the responsibility. my mom even burdened me with yet another new dog when she insisted on getting one right before her dementia diagnosis.. I begged her not to but she didnt care, now I am stuck with my mom and her dog. and I have a lot of resentment for that. especially because I am very poor and live in very expensive California, and my mom has no money to help me. dog people usually have no insight to how others feel. its just all about making themselves happy and thats wrong in my eyes. sorry for the rant. this doesnt apply to anyone in particular

[@fawnjenkins7266]

Still just 7 in a giraffes neck, right?

[@alwayscrabby2241]

How did you and your husband meet?

[@ArielMenezes]

😊😊😊😊😄😄😄

[@dulopez911]

Never walk or jump ramdomly in a cliff and unknown terrain.

[@pathemeleski]

Mogui is twice the size he was expected to be. Hmmm. Did you feed him after midnight?

[@ryanpegoraro2697]

Hi Meg i just so absolutely love all of your beautiful videos so very very much you are such the most beautiful gorgeous woman ever in the whole wide world i love you Meg.

[@juliebailey9254]

You have beautiful family

[@morgancalvi6675]

Ok, Meg, I'll ask: Whit, why did you marry someone in a wheelchair? I worked with giraffes at the zoo. They have 7 cervical vertebrates. Look at 'Freddo the wheelchair guy'...he was on a ski slope, went off course during a blinding snowstorm...and fell like 50'. The 'Wheels to Walking' guy (Richard something) was jogging where there are underground parking garages, whatever barriers there are on sidewalks, wasn't there, and he fell 50'. Both are low level paraplegics. Certain areas have different designations for classifying quads...you are in Utah...maybe that's how they do it there..2 vertebrate lower. Other areas go by function as to what level you are and yet other areas go by the vertebrate broken. Like me, I broke C4 and have been designated a C4 quad. C5 and C6 fused naturally over time though because of the trauma to them which is strange because I didn't break C5 and C6...it wasn't even involved in the trauma. You can tell the designation is incorrect when they use specific breaks in the injury...like a Jefferson fracture...which involves C1 (it's not go down 2). I'm C4...C7 isn't involved in any way...and have no triceps. So they classified you incorrectly. You are a C3 - C6 quad (or whatever cervical vertebrates you are. But it's strange, C6 doesn't have writ movement. You are not a C7 level at all. Ok, Meg, I'll ask: Whit, why did you marry someone in a wheelchair? I worked with giraffes at the zoo. They have 7 cervical vertebrates. Ok, Meg, I'll ask: Whit, why did you marry someone in a wheelchair? I worked with giraffes at the zoo. They have 7 cervical vertebrates. They may not have deceived you about the breed of the dog. There are different classes of Rat Terriers and Decker Rat Terriers are the largest of the Rat Terriers and he looks very much the Rat Terrier. However, look up a Smooth Fox Terrier on wikipedia...there is Fox Terrier in Mogley.

[@runr100]

We don't need to ask why he married a girl in a wheelchair. The love in his eyes when he looks at you says it all. And yes, human necks and giraffe necks are homologous structures with 7 bones each. That's evidence of evolution.

[@weetolentino8117]

Manifesting a partner like him. lovely couple.

[@anitahermalin1849]

How do people do such stupid things? This is not a laughing matter. No one is destined to be paralyzed.

[@krissydantennimon8750]

Would not let my dog lick my baby's face! Dangerous!

[@leesadoe2440]

positivity is good, but letting kids poke animals in eyes.. no , never I will never understand how people let their dogs out to get hit by cars though. terrible

[@taniapitbran6153]

Why did you marry this beautiful woman in a wheelchair?

[@tallgirlhappyme]

You couldn't say I ACCIDENTLY jumped off the cliff?! Infuriating. Feels disingenuous. Seriously, feels like clickbait.
