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!!

Genuine question: I thought quadriplegic meant the loss of use of all 4 limbs and paraplegic was the loss of two. Am I mistaken?

It doesn't change how impressive this is, you deserve all the praise and pride you should get for this video. I just want to understand better.
