| Memoir of a long term quadriplegic. At age 28, Chris Timmins was driving home from Mission Bay in sunny, Southern California. She wanted one more day at the beach before moving to Oregon. On the way home, Chris started feeling ill and was searching for a place to pull over. The next thing she remembers was staring at the tiles on the ceiling of the hospital ER. After emergency surgery on her broken neck, she was placed in traction so that she couldn’t move her head. In fact, the only thing she could move was her eyelashes. Chris had crashed into a cement embankment and was now paralyzed from the neck down. |
