When June was 10 years old, she fell from a school yard gym and broke her back and spine at T5. When she hit, there was a metal tube on the ground that supported the apparatus and her back hit on this tube. A few weeks after the injury a spinal fusion was done in the area of T4 to T6. June was paralyzed and had no feeling from that point down. She had no control over her bladder or bowels. This was a very frightening situation for such a young girl. She was sent to a rehab hospital which was far from her home so her mother could not be with her very often. Over time she learned to live every day life, use a wheelchair, and go back to school. With such a high injury, she was having trouble transferring form chair to bed and back and into a car or any other place like the shower.
June learned to live with her problems and take care of herself. She had been fitted with a back brace that ran from under her arms to her hips and that had hip joints that were attached to upper leg braces. These fit around her thighs to just above her knees. They could be locked at the hips with drop locks when she was seated with her legs 90 degrees to her back. This made her able to sit in her chair without the fear of falling out. After a year she returned home and finished school. She was a good student and popular with the other students, at least with the girls. The boys seemed to be afraid she might break so she never got asked out. During her senior year she was diagnosed with fibroid tumors in her ovaries. There was some question about what the tumor was so it was decided to do a total hysterectomy at the same time. This was fine with June as it was very hard to manage things during her period. She also had decided she never wanted children.
After graduation from high school she attended the local junior college and wanted to become a medical technician. As she had gotten older she spent more and more time learning about various disabilities and how people coped with them. She also learned what a devotee was and soon found she was attracted to people like her who were severely crippled.
Right after she was injured her mother had been contacted by lawyers and offered a large settlement by the school district and the maker of the school yard gym. It had not been installed right as the metal pipe should have been buried. A trust fund was set up and June did not know about the large settlement. She only knew that "insurance" was taking care of her medical bills. After she graduated from high school, she was told about the trust fund she was now eligible to receive. June talked it over with her mother and because their house was so hard to get around in, she moved out of her mother's place and found an apartment that was wheelchair accessible. The only real issue she had with her being paralyzed was having to drag her dead legs around every time she needed to move. She was hoping that somehow she could change that and have a much easier time if it.
The other thing she had added to her new apartment was a bed that had a "trapeze" bar. It was a frame that attached to the head of the bed. On it was mounted a bar that went up some and then made a 90 degree turn towards the foot of the bed. About four feet from the wall was a metal bar that hung on a chain that she could grasp with her hands to lift herself up easier. The bar would rotate some to the side of the bed so she could get in and out of her wheelchair to the bed more easily. She still had to lift her paralyzed legs with her hands on to the bed and also move them around that way as she moved around in bed.
June got going in Junior College and liked the med tech class very much. One day about a month after she started she ran into, literally, a male, also in a wheelchair. They laughed as no damage had been done and moved out to a table to do their research. They introduced themselves and his name was Ed. They did their work and both got done about the same time. Ed asked if she would like to get something to drink in the cafeteria. June said that would be great and followed him there. After they were at an out of the way table Ed asked about why she was in the chair and June gave the details. Ed said it was similar somewhat to his story. He had been hit on his bicycle when he was 15, was a complete paraplegic from the waist down, and self cathed every 4 hours. June said she used a Foley catheter that was clamped at school and when she was out. At home she used a drainage bag.
They compared other notes and had a good visit. Little did Ed know this was the first real talk she had had with a male. She enjoyed it very much. Ed had to get to another class so he gave her his number and hoped they could talk more sometime. June was finished for the day and headed home. With her money, she had bought a van that had a wheelchair lift and hand controls and learned to drive it. She was very careful and still somewhat afraid to drive it as big as it was. The apartment manager had made a handicap spot for her and put a reserved sign for her apt number on it. That part of the parking was covered and the door close by.
June had grown since her accident and was now about 5'5" tall, was slim, only about 110 pounds and her legs were very atrophied. They had grown at different speeds and different lengths. The right was now about 2 inches shorter than the left. The back brace had kept her spine straight and she was a 32" B cup. The feeling stopped right below her breasts. She always wore skirts as they were much easier to get dressed in. There was a cut the full length of one side and a Velcro strip kept the waist closed. The skirt was full enough that the cut never showed. She could open the skirt and place it on the seat of her wheelchair and then sit down on it and then close the waist. The skirt came to her knees. She wore regular blouses but never wore a bra as her breasts were inside the back brace.
