Some damage is too severe, some harm endures. And what you have to do is accept it. And by accept it I mean, donโt be the paralyzed person in the bed who is waiting to walk again. Realize, itโs never gonna happen. And find some other way to get around โswing from a vine, get a Mad Max wheelchair. Anything butโฆwait.
