Norma became paralyzed in 2014 due to a congenital birth defect - named thoracic spine herniation that surfaced later in life. Her initial shock of being confined to a wheelchair, living with pain and enduring seven (7) corrective surgeries to her spine that got worse Media Document1 instead of better became scary when the complications from each surgery began to cause more pain, weakness to her hand, affecting her brain, motor and sensory skills lead to feelings of wanting to end her life and question her spirituality and purpose.
