I have myself tried to look at my accident has a good thing, which, to the majority of people seems outrageous, but I have found a few cases where it improved my life or at least allowed me to stay alive longer. For instance, at the young age of 32, I had a colonoscopy to determine if there was something wrong with my bowels, due to problems with the bowel regimen. I would have never had this procedure performed if I had not become paralyzed. The colonoscopy discovered a polyp which would have turned cancerous within about five years. It is most likely that I would have died of colon cancer in my early to mid-forties. Another example of how my life improved, is my ability to become more in tune with my own inner feelings.

Am I saying that my accident was really a blessing in disguise? No way! I am simply trying to look at the bright side of the very dismal set of circumstances.

My dear departed mother looked at me a few years post and said, "It's a good thing you broke your neck.  If something hadn't slowed you down, you'd have killed yourself."  Now isn't that an interesting way to look at it?

Is interesting how I tested the laws of nature on a frequent basis, but my accident occurred when I had no intentions of testing these laws. It was just a freak accident which should not have even given me a small bump on my head. I guess it was payback for tempting fate all of those years. :-)

Yep, I tested one of those laws "do not go off trail" and am still
learning that lesson ;-) It's funny, for most of my life I've been
scared of heights, why I found the courage to hike that steep hillside
"off the trail" is curious to me.
