My Story - Malik Sohail Saqib

Malik Sohail Saqib,

From Rawalpindi,

DOB: 22-4-1972,

Swimming Pool incident on: May, 2000.

               On the evening of May 2000, I was in Texila with my family and friends. We planned to take a swim in swimming pool so we  reached in swimming pool and took our place to jump on Pool; right on that time I jumped on a wrong place got hit on something inside the pool which broke my backbone. I felt on that time that my lower body is not with me. So my friends bring me out of the pool, and hurriedly took me to the nearest hospital (Texila hospital), in Texila Cantt. So doctors referred me to the Rawalpindi hospital.  They placed some rods and plates on my backbone to prevent more damage. And then discharged me from hospital after 2 weeks.  

                So I shifted home, and unluckily I got bedsores after 2 months, its was going deep and deep day-by-day, so I shifted in a nearby daycare center for bedsore care. I stayed there for 1 year almost. But this bedsore is still with me. its about 12 years that I still ave that one. its main reason is that: I was sited in wheelchair first time after 6 years. These problems are still with me because I have lack of knowledge about Spinal Cord Injury, nor any one guided to for my upcoming problems. I have these regular problems:

• Urine problem, because I am using super-catheter

• Bedsores – till now it is and is not healing.

                I took super-catheter from the year 2001, till now I am dependent to this, and it irritates to too much. .What can we do now? It’s our last hope to manage our urinary system. But I still believe in Allah Almight that Insha’Allah one day He will make me self-dependent. My this brief introduction is because I want you all people to be-aware for these problems and please make your self attentive for this
