The way we view everything in life is altered by our own perspective. Even though I have spent more of my life in a wheelchair and on a ventilator than I spent able-bodied, I still see my current condition as an altered state. For example, when I am dreaming at night, I am able to breathe, walk, and move like I did before my spinal cord injury, even when those dreams include people I met as a direct result of my accident.
Please can you post a video showing how you control your wheelchair without using your hands and also please can you show how sometimes your chair is tilted forwards and how sometimes it's tilted back
I will definitely keep that in mind when I am looking for inspiration for new blog posts. In the meantime, the quick answer is I use my mouth to control a small joystick in order to move the chair, and I change the angle of the chair tilt according to what is most comfortable at the time. I also tend to be more tilted back when I am driving the chair, particularly going down an incline.
This is beautiful! And what cute nephews :)
Aw, this is my favorite post yet! You’ve got some really sweet and smart nephews.
The sweetest and the smartest!
Sounds like you’re an amazing aunt Loa! Maybe we could talk and go out sometime!

Wow they are very smart and very prideful in you
What a heart warming gift your nephews have been to you, Loa!
You certainly have that right, they bring me so much joy.
