When he left home on a sunny Friday in October, the biggest decision Jay expected to make that day was what drink to have with his lunch. As it turned out that wasn't a decision he would have to make for another 12 months. An hour after saying goodbye to his wife and baby son he would be paralysed from the waist down causing his life to take a very different trajectory. This new direction would take him into a world where he would meet singing stroke survivors, romance novel reading cancer patients and a seagull named Steven. A world where seemingly anyone with his contact details would be sending more inspirational stories about miracle recoveries than you could shake a walking stick at. Jay gives an open and honest perspective of the days, weeks and months of life after a traumatic injury. He will ask important questions like will I ever walk again? Can I still be the father and husband I want to be ? and why are there only pedal bins in a hospital where no-one can use their legs? This is a story of nurses becoming accidental drugs mules, wheelbarrow walking with your pants down, disability sports and the hierarchy of paraplegics This is not another inspirational story.
