My Story...
Hi I’m Alex and I’m a marine engineer, while working out in the Caribbean in 2006 during some leisure time I went swimming and my whole life changed in an instant... I hit my head on a sand bank and broke my neck. The vertebrae at c5 fractured and c6 broke into three parts one of which damaged my spinal cord, leaving me paralysed from the chest down. More

There’s always time….

I have refrained from doing the fes through all this rain, im not happy being pluged directly into the mains power during a storm

I stood today, the sun came out so I took advantage and went out with Winnie until it rained

I’m starting to think my body doesn’t like me any more……….

STOP

Think to much and you’ll never do anything!

Right now I think way to much…….

Acceptance against maintenance

Recovering through these past years…. I’m still riding the plateu.. Nothing doing…. With todays technology and the advances in medical science, nobody can say what will happen tomorrow… The inca’s think the worlds ending this year, if so not to worry…. But just incase it doesn’t, I’m going to continue maintaining my health fitness, mobility and hope for independance in the years to follow. As always.. As with everybody restricted by money and time, time slips away and in need of a mountain of money but never getting further than an ant hill!

Accepting my physical state at the moment is still a big NEGATIVE.. I’d like to… I’m not a victim, I’m a survivor! I survived a broken neck, drowning, secondary drowning, nuemonia/hyperthermia (not sure which… Possible both) six times my heart gave up and my lungs stopped functioning… Along with a few other things…… I’m out the other side five years along, I have said a number of times – my mind is strong but my body is broke! I don’t know what the future holds

I do know I can’t “just settle for what I am”
“who I am won’t let me”
I want to be the man I was born to be… Not dependant on someone else for everything.. Even to PEE!

No accepting.. Not today…. Not tomorrow, it’s just not me

I’m the one looking out, counting the seconds of time mounting up then slipping away

Bike yesterday, bike tomorrow…. Not today

9.9 fes miles…

I’m fighting the slowest battle ever

To stay strong through five long years of nothing! I maintain what I am… What I can.. In the shadow of my life, watching the days turn to night, the spring turn to summer.. I am still the same person that I was… Just had to learn patience the hardest and longest way possible, take my advice! It is deffinetly better to live by other peoples mistakes….. Live by mine!

Nerve pain is my brain talking to my muscles, through the “incomplete” pathways and tangled mess of undirected regenerated ones…. I feel pain I feel both light and deep sensation down through 77% of my body – sensation over motor function, and down the left side, hyper-sensation, prolonged delayed intense sensation… To live for what I am

I brought back what I can… I maintain what I have.. Maybe a cure will come.. I live with the hope of tomorrow… The unknown.. the future of what will come

I live my life the way I can
