Nearly two years ago, I was shot in the back. Obviously I did not die, but I was not lively either. I was in a coma for fifteen months. When I woke up, half my body was paralyzed.

This form is what I used to be like, before the incident, but it wont be easy to achieve as I am now. Even a few weeks of neglecting the body is enough to be visible, but being bedridden for over a year... that's something difficult to reverse.
