A veteran who served in Afghanistan pulled off a surprise his wife will never forget -- joining her for their first dance as man and wife without the aid of his wheelchair.Sgt. Joey Johnson, 27, suffered a spinal injury in a motorcycle accident just four months after meeting his future wife in 2012. He cannot feel anything below his chest and is confined to a wheelchair. Johnsons now-wife Michelle told ABC News that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in Afghanistan and rode motorcycles for the rush. Just over a year after they met, Johnson proposed in April 2013. They set the date for June 28, 2014 -- the day before their shared birthday. Michelle is a wedding planner in their hometown outside of Indianapolis, but there was one element of their reception that she had no idea was in the works. Johnson and his friends were working on a system that would allow to him stand for their first dance. #endpolionow #WorldPolioDay #postpolio #ortopedia #survivor #polio #poliomyelitis #health #inspiring #positivethinking #faith #crutches #wheelchair #fe #vida #salud #Desabilitado #invalido #SillaDeRuedas #accesibles #discapacidad
