I’m writing this column for you if you are dealing with *challenges* and mixed messages from various health-care professionals. I’ve spent the last *five years* of my life relearning how to walk again after a surgical procedure at the base of the right side of my skull to correct an aneurysm went *terribly wrong*. That caused a stroke on my spinal cord that left me *paralyzed* from the neck down.

Thankfully, my surgery was *successful* despite less than a twenty-five percent chance of surviving. However, my odds of ever walking again very virtually nonexistent in the minds of my doctors, but that *wasn’t* good enough for me.

Although no roadmaps existed to point me toward where my journey should begin in reclaiming movement in my body, I was going to be persistent in my quest to stand, to walk, and to reclaim my life. I was forty-nine years old and in perfect health when this nightmare began, so I made a promise to myself and to my doctors that when the day arrived for me to check out of the hospital, I would walk from those front doors. When that day finally arrived, I fulfilled that promise with the aid of a walker.

**From then on and to this very day, every step forward is a gift I *greet* with sheer joy.**

I learned along the way many times that I would need to challenge my comfort zone in my efforts to improve myself and through sheer determination I did. Each of those steps were small journeys in the beginning, back and forth to the mailbox at first, and before long, to the end of the street and back.

*Five months later*, while in Paris with my family, I was not only walking around that vast, beautiful city with a cane, but once again I was challenging my comfort zone. Climbing the 387 circular steps to the top of the Notre Dame Cathedral one day was my way of saying my *new life was only beginning*. Getting back down was another challenge because I could only hold a handrail in my left hand. However, going back down the next circular staircase I found the handrail was on my right. That initially presented a problem, but I improvised and went down backward. *No handrail would ruin my day.*

Since then, I have spent the last few years doing Pilates, neuromuscular massage therapy, work in a gym and at home to improve my condition. The payoffs from that dedication have been grand as I have gone back to work as an airline instructor, taken a trip to Nepal, relearned how to ride a bicycle, and gone scuba diving and *hiking* in the mountains of *North Carolina*. This journey continues to unfold as I keep myself open to all possibilities.

Wherever you are, whatever your situation, I’m hoping you’ll consider challenging your comfort zone as well. It’s as easy and as difficult as taking that first, uncertain step.

### Jeffrey A. Morse

Finding Forward Charting Your Journey to Recovery Jeffrey A. Morse has traveled the world, visited exotic locations, been a sports diver, and had successful careers in both the military and commercial aviation, when one day, an emergency room doctor told him he had both a brain aneurysm and a dissected artery. Surgery was the only option, and his chances of survival were less than 25 percent. At age forty-nine, during that surgery, he suffered a spinal cord stroke that left him paralyzed. After being told that he would more than likely never walk again, Jeffrey made a vow that he would walk out of the hospital. Six weeks later, he did just that. His journey has led him to alternative therapies, a healthy lifestyle, and a proactive versus reactive approach to his recovery. It has taken him from that hospital bed to France, and to Nepal, where he paraglided off the top of a mountain and fed a vulture in flight. It has also led him to a new career as an author and motivational speaker. Jeffrey believes you can overcome any obstacle by taking control of your recovery. Don’t let “I can’t” rule your vocabulary. There are always other options, and you can start a new road and a new life.
