Wheelchair Problems Anyone?

Hey Everyone!

Tonight I went shopping with mom, sister, her friend, and my nephew. All day I had a funny feeling something was wrong with my chair. A few months back, one of the wheels became offset, I don't know how or why... Today, the same thing.

It has to get fixed before I go out of town on Monday so, tomorrow I will take it in to be fixed which means, wait for it...... NO SCHOOL FOR ME!! I can't realy go to school with no wheelchair....

You might have expected me to be pissed off that my chair is messed up but, I've been in such a negative mood the last while that I'm just tired of it so, I'm finding the positive in this situation.

What positive thing happened to YOU today?

Shoulders and Wheelchairs.

Hey!

For those of you who are in a wheelchair and read this blog, I'm sure you can relate when I say wheelchairs cause some pain issues with the shoulder.. I have been trying to recuperate for about a year now, going to PT, changing how I do things and all that. I've progressed bit by bit but, I'm still having some serious pain issues. Today, I finally went for an ultrasound to check for a tear. To be honest, I was hoping for there to be one so I could have surgery and be done with it. NOPE! The radiologist reviewed it right then and there and told us I just had severe inflammation. So, same old stuff. PT and Cortisone. Sorry to come and rant.

I might be frustrated at this point and sick of being in pain but,

Shocking and Sick and On a Lighter Note

I wanted to post two links tonight. The first one makes me sick. For those of you who are following from the Apparelyzed Forum you may have already heard about this. Ths guy got beaten with a metal bar from his own wheelchair! How low can you go? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/11/wheelchair-bound-tourist_n_493653.html
One of the youth has been caught, the other they are looking for. 12 and 15 years old *shakes head*. The link shows the attack, just to warn anyone who's interested on checkin' out the link.

On a lighter note there is a man named Brandon Sulser, he was paralyzed a while back and has been featured in a vid of Collin Raye's. It's called "Quitters" and I think that everyone should hear it :). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEFHbGWv8u8

Hey Everyone!

Hey There,

I am starting this blog to share my experiences with other people. I have Cerebral Palsy and decided this was a cool idea to get to know people in similar situations.

I'll keep this post short because I am exactly sure what to tell you about myself. I have Spastic Diplegia. I like going on the computer, hanging with friends and Country Music. I LOVE coffee and I do not like spiders.

That's all I'll write for today. Feel free to comment and tell me about yourself or feel free to ask a question if you have one I didn't cover here.

Thanks for Reading!
