You're Going To Walk: Still Pressing On After Spinal Cord Injury

by Laurie Perlongo Zappulla

All this time! 39 years. Ever since the beginning, people would say to me, “Wow, you should write a book.” They would engage me with questions about what happened. They wanted to know, and they still do. So, BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS ASK…I began one night to write this story that I have known so well. They say that everyone has a book in them. They have a story to tell. I never dreamed that my life story would be able to give hope to someone else. I knew it was amazing that I came back from a horrific injury, and thought it ended there. I have been wrong. People find it inspiring. They say, “that someone needs to hear this.”

Interesting story of someone who overcame SCI, for the most part. So glad she has done so well in light of a horrific injury.

Relatable for those struggling to walk- even with life changing injuries that aren’t SCI’s. All the feeling and challenges. Inspiring read.
