I have just read a lovely letter from a past paraplegic female client of mine the contents of which are below – such words of thanks truly make my most privileged of jobs a real pleasure.
This case was particularly interesting due to the differing problems thrown up by how paralysis affects women differently to men.
This client was riding as a pillion passenger on a motorcycle when she was knocked off by the negligent driving of a car driver.
Dear Ed,
I can’t thank you enough.
I will never forget the moment you (first ) came to see me. When I saw how happy and normal ( sorry to use the phrase normal) you looked in your wheelchair and you gave me the courage and inspiration to realise my life wasn’t over just different. Rob and I feel blessed that we have you as a friend in our lives.
Jan and Rob
