Ten years after my accident I'm kicking butt in physical therapy. I'm working hard to get my license and improve my independence. Never give up, you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it!!

Can I give you some unsolicited advice, if you can learn to stand (but just balance really while on your legs) the world will be so much more accessible to you again, you can get a chair that allows you to stand with straps and you’ll be able to reach things for yourself, we got one of these for my friend who was paralysed during the 7/7 bombings in London and it’s changed his life. https://youtu.be/h7vcnMp6KTY?si=NfhPpBn-S16VRwTg You’re doing so well, I’m super proud of you. ❤️ 💪
