Abstract:

Remarkable recovery is possible. That is my experience [of a remarkable recovery from a severe cervical spinal injury] and that is my purpose in writing my story. It is not to WOW you with a miraculous story or impress you with what a super-human person I am. Rather, it is to empower you to call on your own inner resources, the talents of others and the spiritual help that is always available. In writing this piece I discovered for myself what I believe are the ingredients of a remarkable recovery: 1) Bringing forth determination to get well, 2) Finding skilled practitioners or team of skilled practitioners, 3) Being willing to give up being victimized, and 4) Asking for and listen to your inner spiritual help.
