    Mr O! You were my leadership teacher and my next door neighbor a couple years ago back in HS. It’s so crazy to find you on my recommended! You are a huge inspiration to everyone - don’t listen to the haters on CZcams. Thanks for sharing your story. And your courage to get through the unknown gives me courage to get through the unknown as well, because my mom just died. I hope everything is good with you ❤️

    I too was injured in 2010 in Hawaii while surfing and injured my back and became a para t10. I can relate to your story also being in shape and fully active in my prime years but had to push carry on and continued my life. Thanks for sharing your story.

    i'm T-9 para incomplete from a 57 Ford, crash, the dash is steel in that year.. No one knows me as a para, i'm just a guy with a cane! The first diagnosis name was what they called it , in the 60's. Upper motor neuron lesion thoracic ninth vertebra (UMNL T-9) is how they describe it now. Thanks for sharing your story, that takes courage and also conveys the dangers of the Ocean..Sorry about that accident and to happen at home too, that's rough.
    Keep good positive thoughts, spinal cord injury could see some much waited for advances tech advances.🤞 i'm in the electronics field...maybe interface computer to spinal cord is what i think will be possible .

    You are so blessed to be alive. That could have gone so many ways. I’m sure you realize that. I believe God has a plan and a purpose for your life. I had not been following you this just came up on my feed. I’m going to subscribe because your story is one of inspiration to me and I’m sure many others. I am 47 and the last 7 + years have been nothing but one tragedy after another. I have had one putty party after another but after watching your story I feel inspired to stop all that. I truly have nothing to complain about and I see that I need to start living my life in all circumstances. Thank you for sharing. God bless

    Damn, homie...... I think we've all had passing thoughts of being confined to a wheelchair (as I'm sure you probably had before your accident) but you're actually living it. I mean it's not the end of the world but still, just in a split second and your whole life changes. Sometimes we don't realize how fragile life actually is until shit hits the fan, that's human nature I suppose, taking things for granted.
