'I always tell people your legs are great ... but they just get you from here to there,' he said. 'Your arms and fingers and hands do everything else. I have to get those back, I absolutely have to.' He said his ultimate goal is to hug his eight-year-old daughter. 'I'm going to do whatever it takes, as long as it takes, to do that again.'
Salaam Hammad, Thanks for visiting my post. I really enjoy reading your thoughts as well. May Allah give you the best and shower you with infinite blessings! Amin.
I'm in PA school, so I totally understand your academia-related stress. Sometimes its good to write and reflect and focus on the bigger picture.
I am a physician board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) and Stanford fellowship trained in spinal cord injury medicine. I was in an automobile accident with my family on May 23, 2009 that caused, among other things, a traumatic brain injury, a C5 brachial plexus injury and a T2 complete spinal cord injury. That's not going to hold me back in accomplishing my dreams.
