Wheels over Potholes began as a poetry chronicle of my husband's journey after a spinal cord injury. It is a day-to-day account of change-the slow improvements, the unexpected setbacks, the flickers of hope, and the crushing frustrations-all experienced by someone navigating a world no longer suited to his needs.
From the inaccessibility of a simple sink tap to the overwhelming challenge of turning over in bed, what once were minor tasks have become major hurdles. This new reality is not something one adjusts to overnight-it takes years of physical and emotional recalibration.
Pain is constant. Medical procedures are relentless. Even swallowing the daily cocktail of pills becomes a battle in itself. And yet, in the midst of it all, there are moments of grace: like the time he lay in his hospital bed, clumsily reaching out to pull his family into an embrace and said, At least I can hug.
