We have received a lot of questions about how I was paralyzed so we thought we would share my paralysis story with some additional details.
A few years ago my story was made into a short film called Falling UP (watch the full version without commentary here: • Falling Up - nCOURAGE.... )
It was pretty fun to make the movie. Watch it with Whit and I. We pause it along the way and give additional details about being paralyzed and what I did to become happy again.
Watch how I have dealt with sudden change and come out happy on the other side: • How I became a quadrip...

Has he tried psychotherapy? Maybe having a therapist could help him work through things. I'm sorry that happened to him. I can't imagine the emotional pain of having your life change and have to learn a new way of living. He likely has a lot of emotions he needs to express in order to feel better.

Thank you for sharing your story I am a spinal cord injury survivor. My story is very different and I have had multiple other health issues many life threatening ones at the same time. Surprisingly I can walk short distances around my house, but I use a rolling walker and an electric wheelchair for longer distances or activities. It hit me like a ton of bricks when you mentioned the white streak in your hair because I have one too that appeared during the worst year of my journey. WOW! You’re so right that the stress probably caused it. I have joked that nearly dying 6 times will cause the grey hair, but I don’t have any grey I only have white mixed in with my natural hair color. Even weirder is the fact that my eyebrows went white around the same time. I literally have to use a tinted brow product so people can see my eyebrows. Thank you for being such an inspiration for so many of us.

Hi, what a pretty woman, handsome husband and cute baby! She is very inspirational! I too have read a lot with little ones at an elementary school, and there is nothing better-a captive audience, sweet materials, and good feelings all the way around. I can see why that helped her and the kids to be around someone different. Best luck to this lovely family!

This woman is freakin' amazing! Her when story is utterly INSANE 😵‍💫 But the most amazing thing about her is her personality... The way she speaks, with such positive energy and a sense humor, which is most definitely not something most people would have after such a life changing injury. She is definitely an optimist, to say the LEAST! She's got something that I have to consciously work for every single day of my life - and that is the ability to accept life's changes, accommodate to whatever challenges those changes may bring, and move forward with her life.

9 years ago I fractured my back in 4 places. Its been a long road to recovery. To give up all the things I've always done. Gardening, sewing, home canning. Slowly had to give it all up. My husband left me February 2021 and I fell so alone. We have been married 18 years. Im 64 and disabled, who will want me now? But I've prayed that God will see me through it all. For God is my husband and He loves me. He always provides for me. I just trust Him. Wish I could talk more to you on a few things.

I’m so sorry. That has to be incredibly hard. How wicked of your husband to leave. I’m guess the relationship wasn’t too firm. Mine wasn’t either. I’m 63 and divorced after 35 years. I left him just when we were married three years and I didn’t really want to be divorced so I kept putting it off. There’s such a stigma with divorced if you ask me. But it’s better this way. I’m not being treated mean now. Do you have anyone that can help you at all? My daughter, she’s 40, and I live together. That helps with bills etc. Will, take care.

My niece was 10 when she climbed a tree to get her jump rope out of it...she thought she had it loose, and looped it around her neck, I guess. It wasn't untied and she accidentally hanged herself. Her neck broke, and they couldn't keep her alive. It would have been catastrophic to have her there, but NOT there, and maybe it was a blessing she didn't survive...Your story is amazing, Meg.

Beautiful artist! Music is seriously the best mood booster. I have been hemiplegic for 7 years now and I've found that music has a huge impact on my mood. I love church/gospel music but ska music with it's upbeat tempo can really make me smile and giggle too. Secular music with a good message like you said can really lift your spirit. I am lucky to be a sunbeams teacher at church and I look forward to singing time so much! Even 30+years after my own Primary days and I can still remember most of the songs😊 I actually same some of them in my head while laying in the ICU and Neuro Rehab with a breathing tube in my neck. you are such an inspiration to me with your positive outlook on The Future and your constant beautiful smile.

Off her website: By Meg Johnson I was paralyzed March 6, 2004 in a hiking accident. One minute I was standing on the rocks, the next I woke up face down in the dirt at the bottom of a cliff. I was hiking a red rock path in St. George, Utah and was jumping from rock to rock on the tops of some boulders. I jumped from one boulder to another…to another… And then I jumped for one last boulder - and it was the last time I ever jumped. … And that last time I jumped, there was no boulder there. By accident I had jumped off a cliff.

@@bettydamnboop3030 My hobbies are antiques which I collected for years and when I became sick I pulled out of the business and have a home full of everything imaginable as well as my passion for specific decor and gardening! I can’t accept after eight years that I’m not able to do much. My entire active life was reduced to nothing but pain. So I take narcotics that don’t do to much since I have several significant issues. I guess I’m crazy and believe I will get better and my life will return to what it once was. I collected old 1800 circa maps and books which I have and cherish wish a French decor I’m trying to accomplish since a flood occurred in a portion of our home and renovations are necessary. So, this keeps my mind some what preoccupied, although to be truthful the pain is so debilitating I can’t stand it and I do mouth off at my drs at this point since I now have large tumor like areas along my spine that they can’t diagnose and are so painful and radiate into my legs. My recent Urologist said, “well you seem very anxious and annoyed.” Lol I replied, “really, if you felt as I do for eight long years you wouldn’t be much better, and find some relief and suggest another specialist who can help me.” So, he did! I’m scheduled in August. I’m not playing nice nice anymore it doesn’t get me anywhere. My best to you.

You are absolutely correct when You said ( take the focus off yourself to help others) wwe as humans all need a purpose. I lost my sweet daughter and in that intense grief I was mentally paralyzed. During that very dark time my husband couldn't or wouldn't be there for me. Then I discovered he had a girlfriend and it had been a long term affair, the girlfriend was helping my husband through his grief so he didn't need/want me. That was another harsh blow. I began to sink deeper into that darkness. I truly couldn't find anything that brought me pleasure. I wanted to die. I have a very hard time saying this now, but if I'm being honest, those were my thoughts. I prayed for sleep to escape my pain. I bet you had some of those days or moments. A good friend of mine was caring for her gravely I'll father, being as that was what I did for work, I jumped right in to help her, thus taking myself out of the lime light and I slowly began to have a purpose and I was needed. However the anger came with such veracity, I questioned my faith, God, why me? What did I do so wrong that I deserved my daughter to be taken away or my husband to stop loving me. I wanted/needed answers. So I began to research my faith and learned I really and truly hadn't surrendered to my loving God. I thought this is not what my daughter would want and I had 2 other children who were struggling with their sisters loss. Wake up girl! Help guide them in their journey even though they were young adults they too needed me and needed to know I was okay. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and helping others through their own hardships. I just love your spirit and watching you navigate life to its fullest. Your husband is amazing. It is a true love story, he genuinely loves you for you. There's nothing sweeter except maybe little Coco. Hugs Meg you are a bright light inspiring people everywhere.. xoxo Rhonda

I need to appreciate the gifts I do have.... not the ones I don't. You are an incredible,amazing woman, and I am honored to have happened upon your channel today. You are an inspiration. Maybe that was what you were meant to be.

I will never forget this and you have changed me forever. You beautifully and courageously made me stop and think about what is important and how helping others (even when we are struggling ourselves) gives us a good sense of purpose and value. Thank you so much. Your baby looks adorable and you make an adorable family, I wish you all the very best 👍🏼😘x

@9:53 Loved the story of your white streak and he says he could still see it and ends up pointing not at the spot it actually is, LOL. When I had breast cancer in 2016 and went through treatment, I lost all my thick long beautiful hair bc of chemo. I met others during treatment and when our hair started to grow back. Some grew back all grey and curly. Me, thank goodness not grey however a lot more thinner. I would have coloured it too. ❤️❤️❤️ I love how you gave a commentary throughout. It was like getting a behind the scenes take. Imagine if your mom did act in it? That would have been something. I love the glow of love you and your husband have for each other. It is so apparent. 🌹🌻🌷🌼🌺💮🌸❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing. 💗💗💗

I am sooo glad you mentioned 'watching the grass growing' and how sad you were at first because I've had 2 spinal cord injuries...one when I broke my neck and the second when a bone infection got into my spine 38 years later. The first one...I thought 'pfft...whatever' and refused to take it seriously--BIG MISTAKE. Kind of. I am seriously grateful for every second I had walking again and rock climbing, swimming and doing flip turns at the end of the pool (well, kind of), and dancing. BUT the 'pfft...whatever' attitude, made it impossible for me to deal with the second spinal cord injury which landed me in a wheelchair. Oh how I was miserable...I hated the world for 2 years. I alienated so many around me. I have snapped out of it recently (and all at once seemingly too)...but I was thinking I was this horrible person who was the only one who ever experienced this.

@@ivetabombalova3933 smart idea!!! Thanks for reminding me of that!!! One time I was in the hospital and a nurse was getting some kind of certification and was doing a lot of reiki and asked me if she could practice on me. It was the best thing of my life and I never really used pain meds. It was like a warm soak or a warm pool...great pain management! Seriously, thanks for reminding me of that.

That's so awesome that you helped kids learn to read which also served as therapy for you too. It sort of makes me sad that that would never have happened in my state of Rhode Island. They would have shunned you away because you don't have a Master's degree as a reading specialist. Which is totally BS.

Thank you for sharing your inspiring story. I have ME (chronic fatigue) and am a part-time wheelchair user. It limits my life quite a lot. I had ulcerative colitis all my adult life until my first cancer (colon) back in 2015 leaving me with a permanent ileostomy, after major surgery and 6 months of intensive chemo, and then breast cancer last year - lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy. I live with side effects from these treatments. I have had subsequent major surgeries following the bowel cancer and had sepsis back in 2018 and nearly died (post-operative infection). I had a coronary artery spasm back in 2013. People always say “ you’ve been through a lot” but like you, if I could put the clock back I wouldn’t change a thing. I have met the most amazing people during my journey and learnt a lot about life and faith. Also, having my physical life limited, my opportunities to make art have opened up big time and I am now busy making mixed media art and absolutely loving it. It is not the things that happen to us in our lives that matter. It is how we deal with those things. I sat next to a lady having chemo and she was moaning on about how she hated her colostomy. I told her there was nothing she could do about the stoma, it was there for life and nothing would change that. She could, however, do something about her attitude - how you think and feel about things is a CHOICE. I told her to give her stoma a name (mine is called Kermit) and embrace it and learn to love it, and cultivate an attitude of gratitude that modern medicine had saved her life and having a stoma was just a different way of going to the toilet after all! She finished her treatment session before me and left. A little while later one of the nurses came to speak to me and told me the woman had spoken to her on the way out. I thought, “Oh no, here comes the ticking off…” but she said, “The lady told me that what you said to her was very helpful.” Phew. What a relief!! I was perhaps the only person at that point who could be as blunt as I had been, being in the same position. I much prefer having Kermit and his bag to the years of suffering with ulcerative colitis. I am now Mrs. Lopsided with one breast bigger than the other. I have scars all over my trunk and a red stoma that spouts poo into a bag. If I wore a bikini I’d probably clear the beach. Do I care? No. All my scars are battle scars, signifying my victory over every single one. I am still here, and still smiling, and loving life. I am grateful for my loving hubby, supportive family and friends, a lovely home and two adorable kitties, and a bright hope for the future. The Lord Jesus Christ has seen me through all and has taught me how to use suffering, and I believe His Word 100 percent when He says, “I will come again and take you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”
