A blog about my rehabilitation and recovery from a spinal cord injury that left me paralyzed with quadriplegia.


a milestone achieved

I achieved a significant milestone yesterday. I was able to power on and change the channels on the remote control from my wheelchair. First time ever.

I had to maneuver the wheelchair and raise it a few inches. I stretched my left arm to pull the remote closer and reposition it.

Then Booya!

This new medication has given me the ability to reach beyond my wheelchair.
