Bride-To-be’s life takes An unexpected Turn after girl pushes her into the swimming Pool at her bachelorette

Chris’ Response

Chris couldn’t speak for the next couple of seconds. He managed to get back to his senses from the utter shock and said in a breaking voice: “I’m on my way.” In the short call, Rachelle felt the security she needed desperately. 

First Surgery

Right after hanging up the call with Chris, Rachelle underwent a surgery. The doctors were going to attempt to fuse her vertebrae. The operation was crucial as they could neither let it lead to further deterioration nor the pain in the areas where she could still feel a sensation. The procedure was going to be painful and Rachelle was informed about it beforehand. She was fearless as she felt like there couldn’t be anything worse but better by this painful operation.

Recovering From The Surgery

After the surgery, it took a day for Rachelle to gain her consciousness in the hospital. There was a tube going down her throat and she could hear the ventilator buzzing because it was helping her breathe. Rachelle was afraid and in that state of discomfort, she saw her college sweetheart sitting next to her. Again she could only see him holding her hands but couldn’t feel it. There were thousands of words in her which she wanted to say to him but couldn’t. His presence made her feel at peace.

“I’m A Badass!”

After the surgery, a time-taking recovery process started. The surgery was a success but to what extent, was yet to be discovered. Everyone who knew of this accident was concerned for her and her future. Nobody knew if she’ll ever be able to live a normal life or not. To know what was Rachelle thinking one of her friends brought an alphabet board to communicate with her while the tube was down her throat. The first thing she said through this board was: “I’m a badass.”

What Have I Done?

With a strong spirit, Rachelle’s state started to improve faster than expected. The tube and vent were removed and she was able to speak once again. When the people asked her, she said she was feeling much better. All the people were encouraging her but the one who pushed her in the pool on that unfateful night. She didn’t visit her in the hospital for she was deeply sorry. She finally showed up after everyone insisted and Rachelle herself called up her bestie. The first sentence Rachelle said to her was: “I could have done the same thing to you.”

Starting Rehab

Rachelle’s health was improving quickly and 10 days after the surgery, she was moved to a rehab center in North Carolina which specializes in spinal injuries. The patients who are willing to fight back with their paralysis wish to be transferred here. After a few weeks of her accident, Rachelle wasn’t moving at all. Her muscles had atrophied, and her target was to strengthen the muscles that were still in her control – in her neck, shoulders and upper arms – strong enough.
