Janine Shepherd
Athlete Janine Shepherd was rendered a partial paraplegic when she was hit by a truck during an Olympic training bike ride. Doctors didn't expect her to recover. But she not only learned to walk again -- she learned to fly.
For over ten days, I drifted between two dimensions. I had an awareness of being in my body, but also being out of my body, somewhere else, watching from above as if it was happening to someone else. Why would I want to go back to a body that was so broken?
But this voice kept calling me: "Come on, stay with me."
"No. It's too hard."
"Come on. This is our opportunity."
"No. That body is broken. It can no longer serve me."
"Come on. Stay with me. We can do it. We can do it together."
I was at a crossroads. I knew if I didn't return to my body, I'd have to leave this world forever. It was a fight of my life. After ten days, I made the decision to return to my body, and the internal bleeding stopped.事发后那十天,我一直游离于两个维度之间。我既意识到自己存在于体内,又感觉到自己在体外某处,从高处看着,仿佛这事发生在别人身上。为什么我要回到一个如此破碎的躯体里?
但有个声音一直在呼唤我:“来,别离开我。”
“不,这太难了。”
“来吧,这是我们的机遇。”
“不。这个身体已经破碎了,已经无法再为我服务了。”
“来吧,和我一起。我们能做到的。我们能携手共渡难关的。”
我处于一个十字路口。我知道,如果我不回到自己的身体里,我就得永远地离开这个世界。这是我生命中的一场搏斗。十天后,我决定回到自己的身体里,然后内出血就停止了。
