"Jenny in her Wheelchair" Painted by Judy Joy Jones
"Quadriplegics Life Saved by Birds"!
by Judy Joy Jones
My friend Jenny had a severe spinal cord injury from a diving accident at age 18. Jenny was studying to be a doctor and running for Miss America!
Her severe injury caused Jenny to have spasms so severe, she had to be tied in her bed at night when her attendants left. Jenny couldn't move any part of her body and used pencils in her mouth to operate her phone and computer.
She chose to stay alone at night and only had attendants come in a couple of times during the day. Jenny was very independent and also had the good fortune of attending a special school that taught quadriplegics how to work with attendants. Most of them would need attendants for the rest of their lives.
Jenny found out about the school through Joni who was a famous spinal cord injury victim whose life was made into a major motion picture called "Joni". based on her book by the same name. Joni starred in the movie; playing herself.
One night after her attendants had tied
her into bed, two men broke into her apartment. Jenny saw them but they couldn't see her.
Before they reached her bed, both of her birds suddendly stared chirping excitedly which startled the two men who turned and fled!
Jenny was protected by the divine that night and those two birds received special rewards in "Birdie Heaven!"
