I live alone and have a deep appreciation for nature, movies, video games, and music. Many people wonder how I use my phone and play video games without hand function. I've adopted voice dictation for my phone and developed a unique method to use my controller, teaching myself to adapt.
After a car accident in March 10, 2020, I initially had to move back in with my parents for support. Although I haven't completely regained my independence yet, I've been living on my own since June 2022. I'm located in the southeast of the United States, though I'm a bit cautious about giving out my exact location.
Defining myself isn't easy, but if I had to, I'd say I've always strived for self-sufficiency and independence. Even before my accident, I had dreams of moving to Alaska and living off the grid. Now, I aim not to be a burden to others.
In terms of my disability, I have a C5 spinal cord injury, necessitating a power wheelchair and a hospital bed for mobility and comfort. Fortunately, I've successfully stopped taking all medications.
My paralysis extends from the sternum down, with no sensation or function in that region. I can use tenodesis in my wrists, but I have minimal hand sensation and no finger function. My arm mobility is limited, and my triceps are quite weak.
My disability stems from a car accident when I struck a tree on my way home from work, resulting in a broken neck and clavicle. During my recovery, I relied on a feeding tube and a ventilator, but I'm grateful that I eventually left the hospital without any ongoing medical attachments.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will reply when able to. I do not get on here very often as this website is not the easiest to navigate.
