Spinal Cord Injury from Rugby
Ойын-сауық
A simple tackle in a game of rugby leaves a teenager paralysed form the chest down, with loss of function to his arms and hands as well.
We're with Cody in the spinal injuries unit of Burwood hospital as he adjusts to his new life.

Chloe Print-Lambert I’m from US and know what that means and still hear UK KZreadrs say that.
Thank goodness he has the use of his upper body. At least he can still do a lot of things like a desk job, piano, draw, video games, scratch his nose, move around.
This is just so beautiful, not only at the strength and determination of Cody but watching him not giving in or hating the world when In all fairness he has every right to. His friends love him unconditionally and are pretty protective of him, it's clearly visible in this video. It's made me cry in all fairness at the bond they have with him and this is exactly why I love the Australians so much as they look after each other and have amazing family values. All the best Cody from the uk.
I love the way your mates just treat you the same as always....and you are doing so well mentally ....so much to look forward too ...God bless you,
What a great positive energy and good spirit he has facing such an injury
this is beautiful that kind of friendship is priceless them boys sticking around threw it all with him its rare to find friends like that good job all of you all
I hope you're doing well young man (Cody). I was injured in 2001 and am still going strong. My strength is in the Spiritual aspect of life more than the temporal flesh. Even perfectly healthy bodies will die at some point. What's most important are the Spirits that live inside of these bodies because they are eternal. You're a young man and have many amazing years ahead of you. Maintain your positive attitude and you'll go far! Take care Cody, God bless!!!
I know I’m late like a year late but just recently found this channel. So nice he replied to so many comments. Wishing you the best from Tennessee, United States.
Oh my gosh, his friends are so lovely and what an amazing attitude he has

What a top bloke
Incredible video. Sweet Charlotte Hornets hat.
In Australia all meals are made and delivered to the rooms by the ladies that deal with the meals and special diets and all hospitals or rehabilitations etc. I don't know that just seems unhygienic to me having a communal kitchen and the patients help themselves and as he said one of the butters were mouldy 🤢 For breakfast here you get a cereal, bread or toast, individual use butter/marg and whatever spreads, muffins, fruit in juice or fresh fruits, your cold/ warm drinks and just a whole lot more, different varieties and everything is single use so its brand new and hygienic. Anyway that's besides the point just thought I'd mention it.. Cody is a brave young man and I hope he gets better soon. So sad when things like this happen whilst kids are trying to be sporty and get outdoors :(. He has a bright future ahead of him though you've got this and you've got amazing friends and family supporting you :)
Hi I love all of his vodeos mist them he is cute❤❤

In 2018, I met an awesome guy online, who also happens to be a quadriplegic. As a wheelchair-user myself, it would mean a whole lot to me, if more people are going to join in, and help Nick to replace his (more than 10 years old) broken power-wheelchair and the also broken wheelchair-van, as soon as possible ! Thank you so much ! www.gofundme.com/help-a-quadriplegic-stay-active

Hey Cody like ur father said don’t drop the soap…or…do just have fun hahahaha.
So cute him asking about girls and would they find him attractive because he was still attracted to them the same. Cody, you have nothing to worry about! .You probably don't want to hear this but I think you're just adorable! I'm pretty sure some nice young pretty lass will find you very attractive not just by your looks but from your positive attitude. Cheers!

hannaheasellove KayeCal people can live with a disability and still have a full and happy life :) a different 'normal', but still normal! My Mum has a partner who has a degenerative muscular disease, and he hss a teenaged daughter eho is profoundly disabled (non verbal). He still cares for her with assistance, goes to concerts, does things he enjoys, and has a good long term relationship and friends. Not to say there aren't struggles, but he's still a blokey bloke and isn't defined by his condition :)
