When I woke-up, I was face down in a hospital bed with massive internal and external injuries. My doctors told me there had been an explosion, and while I was injured, ten of my co-workers were dead. The blast had hurled me right through the roof. I flew up over 300 feet in the sky, over a two-story building and then landed hard in a concrete parking lot. When the paramedics found me, my body was broken over at the chest like most people bend at the waist and blood and cerebral spinal fluid were oozing from my nose, ears and mouth. My first reaction upon regaining consciousness was an overwhelming fear. I was almost completely immobile with all kinds of tubes and needles poking out of me, and every other second, piercing pain shot through my spine. When the doctors told me that I was a paraplegic, I fell into a massive depression.
