Tobias Forsberg remembers the whole incident where he first went in with his head against the coffin, and became paralyzed.
- I remember everything as if it were yesterday. I never caved, but remember everything in detail. How I slammed into the coffin, the whole situation. And I immediately realized that, damn, this is no good. Then I just felt my face, I lay with my face on the ice and noticed how it melted. It felt like I lay there for several hours and just wanted to get away from it, he says to Sportbladet.
Tobias Forsberg is now home after being in the hospital in February and in rehab until the end of June. And it is still a struggle every time he comes to a new place.
- It's been a big change and process every time I've changed the environment. Those steps are really scary to take. You get used to one thing and feel uncertainty when you make such a change, it becomes very new you have to deal with. But once you have taken the step you do not want to go back under any circumstances. So it is important that you do not get stuck in any kind of security, then you will not move on.
To Sportbladet, Forsberg says he has reached a point where he wants to start doing things himself in his everyday life, in order to be able to continue working from his rehab which he is on three times a week. But it doesn't always work out the way he wants.
- I have noticed that it is a very crooked road. You think oh, now I come home and do it and that. But there are complications that make the most unexpected things cumbersome. Things that you have previously taken for granted can suddenly take two hours to perform. It takes energy and energy, which you would rather devote to strengthening yourself and becoming the best person you can be for the day. It's a challenge every day, but I really feel it will be easier when I have a goal to aim for.
