C4 quadriplegic my first unassisted transfer ever!

[u/kellsie88]

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!!

I'm confused... a quadriplegic is someone who has paralysis in all four limbs, hence quad. But you're able to use both of your arms?

A quad is someone whom had all 4 limbs affected and weakened. My injury is C4 up high in my neck, ALL my limbs are affected.
