Over the years, mainly when I was younger, I have done some scary adrenaline inducing things.
You could say I was an adrenaline junky.
Sky diving, base jumping, bungee jumps.
What is the scariest thing anyone has ever done |

Cant decide between being held hostage at gunpoint by African Mercenaries for two days before escaping.... Or the time I was stalked by an agressive Tiger Shark while spearfishing....
Both were shit clenchingly terrifying and Still give me the cold shivers 17 years later.....

"Giving birth vaginally, knowing I already had injuries that could (and did) lead to permanent disability. Chucking myself down hills and snow etc in the wheelchair is child's play compared."
That must have been heartbreaking. As you said nothing could compare to those feelings.x |

I’ve jumped out of aeroplanes I’ve skied, abseiled, climbed all sorts of things.
The scariest thing I’ve ever done is faced up to my own failings and talked openly about feelings.
Skydiving is easy, emotional honesty is the hardest thing in the world.  |

It took me years to be able to open up about the loss of my wife and unborn child, I think that was one of the reasons I did the daft and dangerous stuff I did |

I’m sorry that you’ve had to deal with that but it’s good to hear that you have. |

I hope this isn't an offensive question but do you regret having children because of it?
You don't have to answer x
I have a mate who admitted to me years ago that she regretted having her son.
She loves him but if she had known how difficult it would be then she wouldn't have done it.

My first cave dive in Mexico.
That is pretty scary diving in an overhead environment where you can't surface immediately if you encounter any problems.
Also the visibility was poor at 1 point during the dive so I couldn't read any of my diving instruments. Very scary! |

Stepping off a nice solid rock (fortunately with an absolutely solid nut in it) to climb 30 meters of open snow that had been in the sun all afternoon, and slipped under each step, before swimming through a melting cornice.

It's something I've wrestled with to be honest and felt very guilty about. If I'm honest, once she started needing a parent to crawl on the floor and bend to hold her hands while she learned to walk etc, yes, I did. I felt like a bystander, a spectator and a waste of space. I threw myself into my work because at work, my disability didn't matter. My colleagues just got on with things, helped if I asked for it but no-one made assumptions. Students were also wonderful.
Getting the wheelchair (2 years ago now) was the turning point. I could/can do so much more stuff. I don't need to be able to run because I can push. I can play sports with her, take her to the park etc. She's starting horse riding with me soon. Etc. I still hate not being able to sit on the floor and play "silly" games but we've adapted.
So, the answer is now no. I don't regret.
I had my son as an able bodied 16yo and if it would be typical to regret, some people might regret being a teen parent and missing out on stuff but I am SO thankful I had him and could do normal parent stuff with him. I don't care that I had to alter my uni/career plans or that I couldn't go out clubbing. I'm so thankful I had 14 able bodied years being a mum and he was and is outstanding helping me/us.
Sorry for the essay  |

Coming out of the anaesthetic feeling and finding that they had removed a testicle, then it hit me that I actually had cancer. Up till then I knew I had it, but sort of down played it a lot. That moment got through a chink in my armour. |

Had a child convulse whilst I was holding her and go unconscious, not breathing. Instinct took over and I brought her back
Scariest thing ever, actually made me puke once the reality of it set in. Had nightmares for a few nights after |
