Hey there!
I'm Smurf and I'm 20 years old from the UK. I'm a T6 incomplete para
due to a combination of a car accident and a fall.
Before I start going into one of my essay replies I wanted to let you know
that I think your a fantastic girlfriend for A. sticking by him through his
accident, and B. for trying to find out information. Most of us have lost
friends and loved ones due to our injuries so it's refreshing to hear that not
everyone is like that! I was paralysed around 6 weeks after my 18th
birthday and boy did it hurt emotionally! I can't comment on weather he
will walk again or not - I don't feel that it's right of me to say being that
I've only been a para for 2yrs 9months. But what I can suggest is to
continue standing by your boyfriend - be his emotional punchbag and allowing him
to released his emotions on you. What he needs right now is someone who he
can shout at if needs be, who he knows will still be back by his side the next
day. But please don't forget that although your boyfriend is going to need
a lot of support over the comming months, your going to need the support as
well, which is where us loopy gang come in!!! The site is full of amazing
and inspiring people, all of which who have different stories and experiences to
share with everyone. You've definitely come to the right place fo getting
advice, three are many people here who are full of it, and will be only to
willing to helpy ou along the best to their ability.
I look forward to speaking to you again soon, try and stay strong, and I
wish your boyfriend a speedy recovery!
Love Smurf xxx
