Originally posted by haytrain:Most of you know that just over a year ago, I was injured in a freak spinal cord injury and lost all feeling and movement from my waist down. As you can tell by the videos posted in this topic, I've had a miraculous year of healing and recovery. I celebrated this week in two ways. First up, I got my first tattoo on Tuesday, the exact one year anniversary of my injury. While I was in the hospital, I listened to a lot of music, but listened to "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley several times a day, usually in the morning before my therapies, and at the end of the day after everyone went home. The chorus really spoke to me: "Don't worry, about a thing. Cause every little thing is gonna be alright."
So, here's my tattoo:

Second, I completed a 5k hike through a local vineyard today with some very close friends cheering me on. I walked most of the way, but did manage to jog across the finish line. Quite an amazing feat when you think that I couldn't even wiggle my toes a year ago. Enjoy!
