One of the necessary evils of being a writer is to engage in "shameless self-promotion." But, as someone who survived a spinal cord injury (SCI), and experienced a significant recovery, I've always been forward to sharing my story(ies).
Recently, Invacare, a leader in the medical equipment industry (especially pertinent for people with SCI) started a blog called Roll Revolution. It focuses on helping people deal with SCI.
And, they asked me to write a guest post for the blog. Needless to say, I was stoked. But I am more stoked that they decided to use the post I submitted.
Of course, this is a plug for the post I wrote, but I encourage people to check out the blog. It's still early, but the blog posts so far are really useful, and I think and hope it will mature int a great site.
Please check out my post called "Inspiration as a by product."
In June 2012, I contracted viral meningitis. I ended up paralyzed and on a respirator. There was some doubt that I would walk again, and if so, it would take two years for me to walk "normal enough," but I was able to do so in one year. I am still improving, for I am not completely recovered. This blog is to chronicle my experience recovering from spinal cord injury and pass along inspirational stories of others who faced medical situations.

Mr. Heavyfeet
Although I walk around pretty normally these days, it feels different. How different? Being a big fan of the "old" comedy troupe, Kids in the Hall, here is a clip of how my legs feel on a normal day.
