Your courage and honesty are admirable. I won’t even have a scale in my house. Total denial!

At this point in my life, I’m not so concerned about weight as I am about health. I just wish I could kick the intense cravings for junk. If I could do that I know everything else would fall into place.

Anyway, I look forward to your updates and you have my support and encouragement.

Comment on 24 to 40: Surviving a Broken Neck by Paula

Wow Bernadette! I am so happy that you are OK. I am also going to email you as I want to be sure that you see my response.

To answer your question, I always thought it was a bit odd that my Dr. never really had me in any rehab. I pretty much just saw him for 1-2 follow-up visits and was sent on my merry way.

I would say that there is nothing that I can’t do or don’t do as a result of the neck injury. At the time, he told me that I should never ski, but I hadn’t really been into that anyways…IF I were tho, I probably wouldn’t be afraid to do it today as I think my neck is probably stronger than the average neck now. LOL

I do hold a lot of tension in my neck/shoulders but I know that is quite common for a lot of people…

I am praying for continued recovery for you and I’m so thankful that you took the time to write. I would love it if you would follow up with me and as I said I will email you now so that you have my email as well.

All the best to you Bernadette!
P.S. I LOVE London!

Hi Paula,
Thanks for this inspiring story. I broke my neck six weeks ago now in a trampolining accident. I had the same break as you (C6 and C7). Luckily like you I didn’t sever my spinal cord and had my neck fixed via traction and surgery. Your case does sound more severe as I don’t have to wear a neck brace.

I totally understand that new-found appreciation of life and how an accident like this is life changing in a strange way for the better. This morning your story made me cry and feel so much hope. I didn’t hear the voice of God as such but did feel that God was telling me that it wasn’t my time and that I am supposed to achieve something else in this lifetime.

Can I ask how you’re getting on now? Are you able to particpate in sports fully or are there limits? I’m asking as I’ve practised yoga for 10 years and am wondering if I’ll eventually get back to full practice one day.

Thanks again for you story. It effected me deeply.

Bernadette (London)
