Response To Quadriplegic Analysis

There was always a problem in my mind that my parents never came to support me. I always begged them to come see me, until one day my mom said to me “ you're pathetic and making a fool out of yourself”. Over those words i became very distant from everyone and changed me forever like don miguel described “ you were put in a spell over the word”. I became very shy and antisocial. I let any opinion get to me.

When I was around 8 years old my mom got pregnant with a baby boy, and it excited everyone, especially me. Almost 5 months into her pregnancy my parents began to argue a lot, and my mom thought my dad cheated. She decided to have an abortion without letting anyone in our family know. She just pretended she lost the baby, until several months later when the truth eventually came out. My mom’s decision affected our whole family leaving everyone with unanswered questions, hurt, and heartache. Even my mom too this day experiences challenges living with the fact that she took another life, which led to many months of depression, hurt, and

What exactly is the difference between paraplegic and quadriplegic? Although they both deal with the spine, they are rather different in the placing of where the damage will appear. Paraplegic is when the spinal cord has been damaged or the nerve roots due to an injury that occurred to the body. Where if damage occurs in the cervical region, it is known to be quadriplegic (Désert 1996). Such that if one is paraplegic, they would experience paralyzing in the lower body, which consist of the right and left leg. Where as if someone is quadriplegic, they would experience paralyzing of the body; which consist of the right and left arm and right and left leg.

During the month of October, I was told over the phone that my Godfather, the only father figure I have, was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. Based of my mother’s reaction to my gasp and sudden questions that she refused to answer, I could tell that she wasn’t planning on telling me in the first place. This information that my mother slipped up and said shook my whole world. Not only the fact that my “father” has a disease that kills daily but the fact that everyone knew but me. I was devastated, I instantly hung up the phone and called my “father”. He proclaimed that my mother volunteered to tell me when he was first diagnosed and he thought I knew all this time. My “father” is the reason I looked into Dr. Sebi, not only has he found a cure but one that actually works

In the United States, there are approximately 17,000 new cases of spinal cord injuries every year and it is estimated that as of the year 2016 approximately 282,000 people in the United States have an injury to the spinal cord to some degree (NSCISC 2016). The diagnosis of a spinal cord injury includes any damage to the spinal cord, including the nerves associated with it. This kind of injury causes permanent damage to the body by a decrease in strength, sensation, and body functions (Shroff et al. 2017). Spinal cord injuries are particularly hard to treat because each injury is different and the cells associated with the spinal cord are hard to target and treat. In most cases, no improvement functionally is made and the symptoms are permanent.

In more detail of his injury, Reeve was paralyzed from the neck down due to a horse riding incident. He was riding in Virginia and was thrown off the horse, the impact of the landing caused him to fracture his top two vertebrates, one of the most severe of cervical injuries, which meant that his skull and spine were not connected, causing him to lose use of all four limbs and his torso. Because of this, he suffered an injury called quadriplegia. Quadriplegia results in all four limbs being paralyzed, since the brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system, when both two parts are disconnected, the brain will have no control over body movement meaning, all function will be lost. Although a spinal cord injury is primary the cause of quadriplegia,

After my father graduated from college, He moved around to look for more opportunities to further his education. Later on; he married my mother, and they decided to move to Yemen from Somalia. The decision was mostly made because they witnessed their family and friends being killed and tortured during the Somalian civil war. In Yemen, my father taught in an elementary school and he loved his job. However, one day all of our lives changed dramatically. One day my father was taking his usual route through the mountains to get to work, and suddenly he lost balance over a rock and fell downhill. The freak accident left him paralyzed for life because he went through a seizure that caused paraplegia. Since he was the sole provider for our family,

I in turn started to break most of my “religious” rules that I had grown up with, but being a sixteen year old girl, I didn’t care. We got engaged the summer before I started my senior year. Everyone was shocked and some were upset. My parents didn’t understand why I wanted to get married so young. I was at a point in my life where I wanted out of my house. We planned to get married on June 30th, 2001, which would be two weeks after my high school graduation. During my senior year of high school I spent a lot of time defending my decision to get married and most people did not understand it. When the day came to marry Brian, I was excited but sad at the same time. I knew that even as we sad our vows and walked out at a Mr. and Mrs. that there were people, including family that were literarily talking bets as to how long we would last. Everything was against us. My father-in-law even told us on our wedding day, “Get ready to live in poverty.” We started our marriage off with the odds against us. Brian was the only one with a job, we married because of our religious beliefs that you shouldn’t live together unless you were married, our family dynamic was changing and we were about to be living in a different social class then we were both used to. These things were all against us. But, at nineteen and eighteen there wasn’t much anyone could say that would have changed our minds.

A couple of weeks before my senior year in high school, I told my mother the truth about the amazing step dad Larry who everyone loved and adored. I told her he had raped me and molested me between the ages of 6-14 but it turned out she wasn’t surprised at all by the news. I told her when we were driving to go over to his house to go see my horse he had bought me to keep me quiet about what he had done to me and it was also a way to force me to go over there. My horses name was Sparrow and was a five-month-old morgan horse whose previous owners had abused him. I quickly got attached to Sparrow and he was beginning to get attached to me and I realized that I couldn’t keep what had happen to me secret. My parents were confused of why I refused

In an individual with quadriplegia due to SCI, injury is usually sustained to one or more of the vertebral structures of the spinal column between the levels of C1 and T1, causing damage to one or more of the first eight spinal nerves. When naming the level of injury, the specific vertebral segment involved will be identified by the first letter in which it is named followed by the last spinal nerve root which remains intact; for example, if an individual has a fracture to a cervical vertebra and innervation of the triceps remains, the injury would be identified as a C7 injury. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) developed a guide to help identify the level of injury called the ASIA International Standards for Neurological Classification

In early April of 2016 at work I was reminded to take a yearly mandatory diversity training at random choice I chose to attend a presentation by Jan Turner a quadriplegic amputee. When I signed up I thought it would be a typical boring training where they made you sit in groups and go over scenarios. Not only to know that it would teach me to have a better perspective in life and to help me review myself as a person.

In the generation, where my parents came from, marriages were no longer remaining purely arranged. However, my parents got an arranged marriage. Both of my parents’ families were settled in the city of Karachi. There, my dad’s father started a business. One day my mom’s father went out at his business place. He met with my father there.
