Write a book about it
As It Happens with Nil Köksal, Chris Howden
In 2008, Sunshine Coast musician Simon Paradis suffered a traumatic brain and spinal cord injury that paralyzed him from the waist down. Ten years later, he remained plagued by chronic pain, and his wife Kara Stanley proposed a new approach. Together, the couple embarked on The Pain Project, a months-long investigation of all things pain, culminating in a book of the same name. They spoke with As It Happens host Nil Köksal about everything they learned — and learned to let go of.
