Thanksgiving, in the United States, we are taught, commemorates a harsh winter in the New England colony, when the colonists food ran out and the Native American tribes shared theirs, saving the colony from starvation.
Today, it is a day we reflect on everything we should be thankful for.
I believe being thankful and grateful is beneficial to one's health. Given the spinal cord injury i suffered two years ago, I am grateful and thankful to have recovered as much as I have. I am also grateful and thankful for all the support I have received.
Happy Thanksgiving. I will be taking a few days off from blogging until after this holiday, so this will probably the last post until early December.
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.
