THE WINNER NEVER QUITS! After a paragliding accident in 2017 I was immediately paralyzed from my hip down. The accident was really unspectacular. I just turned too close to the mountain and got washed down by the lee side of a thermal. The first doctor told my mum I will probably never walk again. In the beginning I refused to accept! Every morning waking up I realised it wasn’t a dream and each evening I was praying for some sort of a miracle. I thought maybe tomorrow I it will be better, like in the movies. But nothing! Pain was a major issue and limited my ability to take part of all therapies for a very long time. I spend every day at least 60 minutes in the bed trying to move every single muscle in my legs, mostly without any visible respond. I put my headphones on, closed my eyes and tried to dance and move my legs with all my force. It took me about 6 weeks to move my first toe and after 3 months I made my first small steps again. 🍀 One of the best feelings I ever had in my life. I started believing again and learned how to deal with my pain. I knew my time is limited and I shouldn’t loose it being sorry for myself. Slowly I was getting comfortable to use a bicycle. My brother in law gave me first his e-bike and soon after I took my own one. After 6 months I finally got rid of my wheelchair and left the rehabilitation center. Walking was slow and painful. In that time I was done after walking 1km(0.6miles) and I needed a long break afterwards. I went hiking every day and pushed myself mostly to the limit. I never felt an instant change. I never woke up and felt oh this is working now. It was more a really slow and almost unnoticeable change. Many people told me what I can’t do and where the limits are, but kept trying. 🙉 I feel really fortunate that my family, friends and the whole team in the clinic were that supportive. ❤️ Huge THANKS to all of you! 🙏 Friend in the Video: @veso_ovcharov #paraplegic #recovery #motivation • • • • • • #nevergiveup #riseandfall #onelife #wheelchair #recovery #inspiration #motivational #trending #viral #training #instagood #instagram #parapente #gleitschirm #paragliding #skydiving ‎ #پاراگلایدر #actionsports
