My husband's best friend from college fell down the stairs Monday night. he will never walk again. He is/was paralyzed from the breastbone down. However, yesterday I heard he is starting to feel his hands so maybe he will not be a quadrapalegic but a parapalegic.

This has created anxiety in me this morning because one of the visuals/fears I have worked on is seeing myself fall down my stairs each morning when I get up. I had pretty much gotten over it and been going down the stairs worry-free each day until this morning. I thought about him.

I know it is normal to reminate and think about his accident since we are so close. But, I am disappointed that it got to me this morning since I did so well Saturday night and yesterday.

I am thankful that the audios are on our homepage so I had somewhere to get immediate help.

Thanks for listening, Betsy

Awww Betsy. I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I will pray that he regains the feeling in his upper body... it IS such a hard thing to cope with for everyone involved.

My best friend was marrie to this guy and his 18 yr old daughter was shot while working in a variety store. She has been parapalegic ever since... very sad.. but you know what.. she had valuable use of her life and now helps others in her situation.

I understand yours fears... It's 6 years since I was hit by a transport truck doing a high speed on the highway and I am still working through those fears and the injuries that I am left with.

We have to take positive steps so that those fears do not take hold.. it's a tough job but we can do it.

Love and Hugs, J.
