Spinal Cord injury’s have such highs and lows. One day I’m in the NSX driving the hand controlled car, and the next day I’m getting ready for surgery. Life is so unpredictable! I’m headed into surgery now to have hardware removed from my leg. The infection I had a few weeks ago is still lingering, and we need to take everything out to prevent more infections starting. We will update you once I’m in recovery. Don’t take this day for granted, have an awesome day and do something that makes you happy. #sci #spinalcordinjury #rehab #rw6
