Hurt for a Decade, He Finally Finds the Path to Recovery
When Robert St. Pierre Jr. started coming to the Soundview Kinfolk YMCA two years ago to swim and workout in the pool three days a week, he could hardly get out of his wheelchair.
St. Pierre carelessly injured his lower back in a fall in 2001, and surgery two years later to repair the damage didn’t go well.
"With all the irritate damage and muscle damage it never healed back," he said.
He was not accustomed to a sedentary life before the accident. He had labour as a custodian at St. Raphael’s Hospital, in furniture construction, as a self-employed home remodeler, a restaurant cook and a landscaper.
In 2001, he was employed as a custodian at Branford Principal School . He said he was cleaning a flight of stairs using a backpack vacuum cleaner when he missed a step and floor down the stairs.
"That’s the first time I ever got hurt on the job," he said.
St. Pierre required extensive back surgery for the damage. Doctors fused several vertebrae and inserted metal bolts to display support his spine together. Unfortunately, the operations left him an invalid.
