Think about it. If you were asked, "What kind of life do you want?" What would your answer be? Some would say"Exciting!", some would say "luxurious" another would say "adventurous". Do you have a wish? I don't know if I ever did. I wonder sometimes what I would have chosen?
When I think about the question I realise I never expected an easy life and I prepared for a tough future.I have travelled, been on an expedition to Antarctica, skydived, mountain climbed, scuba dived, raced high powered motorbikes, loved, been loved and I have 3 beautiful children. I have been impulsive yet careful taking reasonable risks and enjoying the moment. I have had an exciting life so far...
Having an accident and losing my movement below the neck puts me on a path I never expected. Being in a wheelchair and being paralysed isn't easy. It's tough, very tough. You can never expect it to get better, you hope it won't get worse.I occasionally wake up and hope the day is not too stressful and painful. I hope for something interesting and I look forward to seeing friends or family. It's not the kind of life I would have wanted. It's the life I have and I will enjoy it.
Do you want an easy life?
