In the video above, George Rosch talks about his new life’s purpose. <\/em><\/p>\n

George Rosch lay sprawled on the ground for a few seconds before trying to move. Moments before, he\u2019d been on the top of a semi tanker, trying to release expanding pressure from the oil within. But he was too late. The oil blew, and it knocked George off the top of his rig, shattering his world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a truck driver, I drove truck for 30 years. I\u2019m proud of the fact that I had over a million miles accident free.\u201d But his fall from the top of the tanker ended that spotless driving career and landed him in a wheelchair. <\/p>\n

The Road Back<\/strong><\/p>\n

The road back hasn\u2019t been an easy one. George spent a week in the hospital while doctors stabilized him and assessed the damage to his brain, neck, spine and back. After two surgeries to fuse vertebrae in his neck and disks in his spine to relieve nerve pain, George had to completely retrain his 64-year-old brain and body to be self-sufficient.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the year after his accident, however, he grew anxious and insecure. His speech began to slur, and he became increasingly forgetful. Surgery \u2014 one of many \u2014 helped balance George\u2019s emotional ups and downs but left him unable to walk. His brain couldn\u2019t tell his legs what to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"
“I can relate to what others
\nare going through and
\nunderstand their pains and
\nstruggles,” says George Rosch.
\n“In the end, I just want to inspire
\npeople and lift their spirits up.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Besides not being able to walk, George also has vision problems. \u201cI have a vision issue \u2014 I can\u2019t track. I have balance problems, so I can\u2019t walk. Short-term memory loss, too. Let\u2019s see, I had bad headaches, pain, I still experience numbness in my legs,\u201d George says. <\/p>\n

A Second Chance<\/strong><\/p>\n

George gained a new appreciation for life during his stint at a post-acute rehabilitation center. Not only did he get his strength back, but he also was given the encouragement he needed from his caregivers. <\/p>\n

“That’s what helped me to deal with the emotional part, and to find the acceptance I needed to move on with my life,” he says. “I found purpose in my life.” It took three months for George to sharpen up his memory, regain strength and learn to manuever his wheelchair. <\/p>\n

A New Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

George is now a greeter in a nursing home in New Hope, Minnesota. Because of his experience, he can relate to people who walk in the door. Some people need a little guidance and inspiration to lift their spirits up. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBeing here, I found my purpose in life.” \u2013 George Rosch, on volunteering<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Carol Hamilton is one of those people. A broken foot caused her to cross paths with George. A warm conversation with George made her feel right at home in her new surroundings. <\/p>\n

“You get to visit with him during meal times or if you see him in the hall, you just say, ‘Hi George, how are you doing today?’” Carol says, as she and George share a laugh. George says his purpose in life now is to help others \u2014 to help them see they will get better and to believe in themselves. <\/p>\n

“I’m so excited about my life here,” George says. “It just means the world to me, and this is my life. I look forward to getting up in the morning and coming to work. This is my job now.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
