quote:

On Dec. 2, Meg Alexander and Brett Greenhill threw a joint bachelor/bachelorette party in Naples, Florida, inviting their loved ones to have a great time and celebrate their upcoming wedding. But after a tragic accident, Greenhill was rushed to the hospital and left paralyzed, unable to speak.

People reports that Greenhill, 39, was playing football with his friends on the beach and decided to go swimming. He reportedly hit his head on a sandbar and had to be pulled from the water. Alexander remembers her fiancé telling her, “I can’t feel anything. Meg, I love you so much and I’m so sorry. I love you so much.”

Greenhill was airlifted to a hospital, where doctors said he was paralyzed from the neck down; he has a 1 percent chance of being able to walk again. “We’re holding on to that 1 percent because if anyone will do it, it’s Brett,” Alexander said. “He’s the hardest-working person you could ever imagine."


quote:

“We are going to get married someday, and it’s going to be amazing,” Alexander told 11 Alive. “Plans changed a little but we’ll get there someday.”

That sucks. They should not get married now, though.

I mean I've heard of getting cold feet, but that is an extravagant plan to get out of the wedding.

Tragic situation.

All eyes will be on Meg to see if she ends up marrying him or not.

Ouch that's a tough one. Wonder how the heck that happened from just playing in the ocean.

They are in for a tough road, as sad as it is to say most people aren't strong enough to become basically a parent to an adult sized baby for the rest of their life, especially when that baby is your spouse.

I've heard that a few times before, but it very rarely ever works out. Hopefully it does for that dude. The depression is pretty rough though. I've seen that first hand.

I wish the FDA would push for more stem cell treatment here

I'm gonna say no. After a few weeks/months one of her cold hearted girlfriends will say something to the affect of, "I'm not telling you what to do, but do you really wanna spend the rest of your life with a disabled man, taking care of him, possibly never having kids"

Walking isn't the big part, it's from the neck down. He can't do anything for himself. Waist down and no walking wouldn't be so bad. This will be hell for her.

It might sound harsh but he shouldn't marry her.

Yes, and it's a huge catch-22 situation.

The perception will be...

If she breaks it off, she's selfish.

If he insists they break it off, and she accepts, she's selfish.

Oh no! The poor dear.

Typical feminine imperative bullshite. Here's a guy who's never going to walk again, and you're white knighting for the woman just in case someone thinks poorly of her.
