ONE ACCIDENT AND A NEW WORLD

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

Teo Materon

MY ACCIDENT

I was playing soccer, and I kicked the ball into a tree, so when I went to get it. While getting the ball,  I fell 3-4 m down from the tree and was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I said OMG, my legs. One moment and my life, my future changed forever.  When I went to the hospital and they took x-rays, they saw that my back is broken in T1-T2.
I am now a T1-T2 paraplegic for the rest of my life. Doctors say my cord is severed so I might not ever walk again, I don't know what awaits me. The body can fight when you have a disease. But when you sever a little thing in the cord, the body loses everything. This is life 😢.

REACHING OUT FOR SUPPORT

I decided to reach out to the community for support. I must remain strong and continue. For this, I need help and guidance from people that went through the same things. I decided to fight, but I am scared and need help along the way. This new world I am entering, I wonder will I be ok in it!
