Iphone Lover
A big chunk of my morning has been devoted to figuring out and paying these medical bills. This is not just a SCI thing, anybody who has had a major medical event knows that medical/insurance billing makes no sense. The good news is that with the use of the iPhone/iPad I’ve been able to take care of this myself rather … Continue reading
Loosing My Grip!
My wrist seem to very very slowly getting better. If you have been following my progress you may recall around last September I lost the wrist function that I did have, which was wrist extension. Wrist extension is when you can bend your wrist up like you are doing the Motorcycle. This function is very important because it gives me … Continue reading

Fat Boy

First thing is that I believe in God and through God all things … Continue reading
This Quad Needs A Sign And A Hobby

We went to the big play area at Plaza Fiesta and as always you could see the questions on all the parents faces. Anyway, lets move on to today. My goal … Continue reading
45 Minute Gym Commute
Yesterday was gym day. After my nursing care is complete my wife helps me take my meds and eat breakfast, then it’s off on a 45 minute ride to the gym. You’re probably wondering why I go to a gym that is 45 minutes away. I go to a special gym called Race to Walk. Race to Walk is patterned … Continue reading
Every Day With A CNA
Well, I’m finally up after about 2.5 hours of nursing care. This includes a bowel program, shower, dressing and range of motion. Most quadriplegics with my level of injury (C5-C6) require some one to complete the task above. This person is either a family member or hired nurse (not covered by insurance). In my case we use a nurse because … Continue reading
