Three years ago, the unthinkable happened when I took a fall while mountainbiking, broke my back and became paralyzed. Since that time, I have tried to continue living life to the fullest and try to remain positive about the hope of someday regaining sensation and mobility back. It’s not always easy, especially as I face continuous uninsured medical expenses and needs.
Most recently, I was being considered for an Exoskeleton Robotics research study but did not meet the requirements of bone density. My bone scan indicated that I have very low bone density and am on the cusp of osteoporosis. While this is a condition many paralyzed individuals face, it happened very quickly to me. This is not only scary but also very distressing because there is a strong possibility if it gets worse, I will not be able to walk again even if my sensory and motor function return, due to the high fracture risk.
