Hi My name is Madhuri and am from Bangalore in India. I am 39 years old and an sci since December, 2010. The accident happened during the time when all my family members were relaxing about me settling in life. Yes. I was divorced aftera long battle to make up my first marriage with my ex-husband and was married to my husband now, only in March, 2010. Few months into the marriage and we met with the accident. The night before the accident (it happened in the wee hours of 11th December and we boarded the bus the before night) though my intuition had been warning me that something right happen to me....which I have ruled out very conveniently as I was excited on going to this trophy with my husband. As destiny drives, I was the only person who got hit. To everyone's surprise even the driver escaped the injuries. After a struggle of one and half hours to locate my right leg which had 7 fractures from the knee to the toes, they could got me out of the bus and put me in the ambulance. My agony had actually started there as I was not seated on the stretcher properly and had fallen on the floor of the ambulance and got stuck in between the two stretchers. The ambulance guys who were not trained tried to drag me out holding my two legs but weren't successful. Hence, they drove to the hospital, me lying on the side on the floor of the ambulance. On reaching the hospital on the highway, the doctor did not even put me on the stretcher as he was pretty sure that I would not make it. However, on the insistence of my husbands friend who had just arrived, he had taken me into the iICU (thought that it was the kitchen of the hospital staff) and put me on ventilators. I don't remember that any kind of first aid had been done. After a couple of hours they had moved me to the city hospital which is 60kms away where the doctors and the staff acted immediately. All this while my husband was beside me crying and confused as no one in the bus offered any help to us in moving me out of the bus. Secondly, I was wide awake without losing my consciousness. Since then I was never unconscious which had beengineering a positive sign for my recovery. I am about to complete 2 years within a month from now and have gone through the rehabilitation phase....but still there are so many loose ends to be tied. I m still not able to lift my legs nor my body as I am obese weighing 86 kgs. Though I m able to shift into the wheelchair with the help of my husband and my caretaker....I m not able to do a push-up sitting in the chair. Howev3r, I am able to cook, clean the house and do many chores of the house and even get into the car (again with the support) and go out. But. I am lacking the basic mobility as I have developed pain in the tendon muscle of my right shoulder. I am planning to go to work from March, 2013 and I want a solution for my problem. Whenever my husband sees me struggling he gets depressed. My whole strength is my husband and I don't want him to feel low. He wants to take me out and I want to see him happy. Though I know I have bored all of you who read this, I request anyone to suggest me how to get out of my problem. Thank you
