That day, Shiburi said that a door at his workplace falls back, which left him with an injury to his spinal cord. It is something that you will never forget. “When they told me that I would never walk again, my heart really broke. Thinking about my children and their needs. The thoughts of living my life in a wheelchair were unbearable. Then, at the time they told me about rehabilitation, I felt saying that I still had the opportunity to fight for my normal life. So I took that as motivation.

Shiburi has a lot to thank, especially the way he was treated in the hospital. He said everyone has played an important role in their progress. “The nurses took care of me very well to make sure I felt comfortable and making sure I had what I needed. The doctor reviewed me daily and made sure to have all the medications I needed. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy pushed me, they always encouraged me to go to the gym.”

You only need to continue pressing until they become visible.

“I really hope that my story inspires others so that they believe that there is still life after every setback. While you are still alive, you can always recover your life. I think I already have most of my life. I am using a walker now, but I think that in the near future I will not need it.”
