    ACCEPTANCE
    By Gail   
    ACCEPTANCE is the first start to healing the mind and healing the heart I think everyone will agree with me.Just some words of encouragement I know it's hard to come to grip of living a normal healthy life to being paralyzed, I can say this because am a living proof of it too I can relate to what we have to go through living with a spinal cord injury,having hope and keeping it alive.Some people start treating you like you can never ever be independent again,push you aside like you have know reason to live,be happy or make a difference which they are so wrong.That why I want you all to prove them wrong know matter what we go through we have life and that's one thing know human can give to anyone of us in order for us to stay alive for ever.The doctors are here to help medically but our minds is the key we can't get better without a positive thinking,don't you agree? Lets try as a community to encourage each other,lift each other,teach and share things that can help everyone get through this difficult time in our life. Keep strong we can do this...
