It may sound strange but I haven’t felt so paralysed in a very long time, hospital isnt a happy place!
Hospital…. Traumatised… Bleeding where you should never see blood and injection after injection after injection, three days for a 20 min procedure, crushing stones in my bladder with a fondu stick with teeth and a camera, it’s cut my urethra so now home, my aching back (from a needle in my spine (the pregnancy one)) and a poor poor very very SORE willy (penis)!
I do like to share!
Most of my problem is with the stress of sitting around waiting for something you know will be bad, thank you to the nurses stressed and run off their feet – you did well, I would really have liked to have traveled up the day of the op.. Done in the afternoon then a night to get over the trauma (and to watch for blood clots in the urine), I have had my head glued up… Stitched up.. My mouth re built 6 times fractured my wrist… And of course neck broken… A glutton for punishment.. Maybe.. Possibly.. Very un lucky or really bad in another life.. Could be a test to see how much I can cope with.. Either way I’ve really had enough now
I have puzzle pieces (every note means so much) and so much support around me… I do feel the love
Important things in life – family, health, Krispy kremes and sorting poor winnies skin problems – plus a tattoo is def different to a medical injection, I have 77% sensation throughout my body which for my level of injury is very strange, along with my injury comes hyper-sensation that really stirs things up! I am… unique
In hospital until possibly Friday now!?! So until then I’ll be off the air, under the radar – I’m going dark people! See you on the other side
Tom O’Connor, thank you! I defiantly will be over and hope to be walking to! It really means a lot
Had the worsed Sunday ever!!! Clonazipam to the rescue!
Winnie! Showered yesterday, calm and asleep – off roading wheelchair today
Physio went well today, blood pressure wasn’t an issue at all, pelvic tilt was initiating well, my left foot took a while but then matched the right side, to finish assisted steps on the treadmill – increasing speed as I went.
Today I recieved a puzzle 
piece in the post… I am from a HUGE family, the Quinns of college road Galway, my mum was the 
14th one born from a total of 19! 10 girls and 9 boys… From this we have spread world wide, one of my cousins even worked for NASA so 
we even tried the moon! But because of this we are so spread out and I haven’t met a lot… Through the five long long long long long years of paralysis I’ve gone up down left and right with my enthusiasum to keep going – one 
thing
that has kept me going is the great support from my family, although far apart.. Always strong in heart! From Sarah organising a walk that took Galway by storm early on, through everything to a single puzzle piece in the post today, from Edel to Tom, from New York, Las Vegas to Australia, I will build the puzzle as they come! Everything pushes me that little more – it does feel good having such support from my family and friends world wide
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
9.7 miles on the rti fes bike followed by some fresh air with Winnie – I’m not feeling the best today tho 
Steve tomorrow, standing and treadmill and a general once over to ensure I’m up to scratch
I have always tried to be realistic about my situation, every day all the doctors and scientists throughout the world get closer to a cure for paralysis, bionics are here and available, alexwillwalkagain WILL walk one day using the tech or the cure! Who knows what the future holds for any of us… It’s what keeps me going each day.. You wake up unable to move… You have to rely on others for everything…. But even those few minutes.. Those hours following no-one knows!
Click the link above to check out just one of the companies out there bringing the future to us NOW! Ekso Bionics!
Alex really has a possibility of walking again! Through technology or the cure, the drive to regain my independence gets me up everyday
