My Survival Journey: Surviving Bedsores After Spinal Cord Injury

Welcome to my gallery. This is not just a collection of images, but a deeply personal account of surviving severe bedsores caused by a spinal cord injury. This is a raw, honest, and educational journey through pain, resilience, and recovery.

Living with a spinal cord injury means that even a small pressure sore can escalate into a life-threatening wound. These photos document the stages of my healing, from the first signs of skin damage to the darkest days of infection, and finally, to the triumph of recovery.

I share this story to raise awareness about pressure ulcers, educate caregivers and patients, and offer hope to anyone facing similar challenges. Healing is possible. Survival is possible. And every scar tells a story of strength.

⚠️ Please note: Some of the images below may be sensitive to view. They are shared for education and awareness, and to tell the truth of my survival journey.
