I may be a quadriplegic, but I roll wherever life takes me. Except stairs.
In September of 1997, I became a quadriplegic after being diagnosed with Hopkins Syndrome. I now share my thoughts and experiences as a person with a disability Check back for updates!
100%. If we could remain seated and positioned in our chairs aboard the aircraft this would largely be a non-issue. I travel 1-2x per month by air and have a spare Permobil M3 exclusively for air travel. Scootaround and Global Repair Group often liase between the airlines and your DME but don’t be shy asking for the “complaint resolution officer” (CRO) who has additional training on the air carrier access act and is often afforded broader discretion to resolve your concerns. Also every single time take photos before leaving the chair, even a video stating “I am at ORD at the United counter this is my Permobil M3 on [date]”. Always test all actuators and seat functions upon arrival and report before leaving the airport
Polio has a vaccine. Where u vaccinated as a kid?i was given a vaccine as a kid,i still have the scare, i was also given a vaccine were u have to swallow it. It was bitter
My you're a really handsome young man. I will be watching your videos now that I have found You. You Take Care and Stay Safe. Thanx for doing these video's. Be A HAPPY YOU !
Hi, Gabe! My name is Cheryl. Wow, what an amazing story! I’m so sorry you’ve been through so much while still so young. I was in a wheelchair when I had Guillain-Barré, then again after Cauda Equina syndrome following a spinal injury. I currently use Lofstrand crutches or on a good day, a cane. I can see why they thought you might have Guillain-Barré - I remember them repeatedly poking needles in my legs when I couldn’t move them, until I reminded them, “I can still feel that, you know.” Apparently not many things affect just the motor neurons. But wow, you have been through so much and are just an amazing young man.
I am so sorry you experienced such a rude behavior but glad you managed to solve it. Most people wouldn’t demand their right to enjoy such a special moment. (I consider a concert a special moment) 💪
Sorry to be so ignorant , but I'm English, and here in England we have a Polio jab when we're infants, which lasts a lifetime..do you have this in the USA too, and does it not cover the more rare Hopkins Polio? God bless you Sir x
I'm glad I found your show. Your story is so interesting and you truly are an inspiration. It looks like this video was made two years ago so I have a lot to catch up on. 😊
This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen all day but I’ve only been awake for an hour, there’s time still. What exactly does he think he’s going to feel? A wire connected to something. Omg! There’s wires connected everywhere. It’s a frickin power wheelchair. 🤦🏼♀️ you gonna stow away a knife that you can miraculously take over the plane with from your SEAT??? 😂😂🙄
@@dantekeener7639 that’s not what they meant. i just think there should be more consideration and consistency when handling those who have disabilities and need extra support when going through tsa. as a matter of fact, i am going to disney world this week so i’m flying and being pat down is just another occurrence for me in the airport.
I hope you made it home ok. It’s hard having a disability for many reasons. (I have one too) But the most important thing thing is that you got home safely.
My friend...I think you are a lot further along than you give yourself credit. I actually have a couple of friends who are shy...painfully so, and would have a hard time not only meeting new people but also recording a video. You appear so well poised and conversant...I think you are an inspiration for not only others who might also be in wheelchairs but for people who are shy and have a hard time making friends. I think you'd be a wonderful role model...someone who is overcoming his fears and doing a great job as well. I applaud you.
Don't mater what uniforms the Arizona cardinals ,the San Francisco 49ers will always win,stay true to the game THE FAITHFUL, AND WE WILL TAKE OVER state farm stadium. GO NINERS!
TSA is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security and was born from the events of 9/11.TSA was meant to be what it is today, a draconian agency there to POLICE the AMERICAN PEOPLE, not keep them safe. if u don't believe it go visit the open border and watch the millions of unvetted illegals pouring in
Hi mijo, your videos popped up on my feed and I wanted to say thank you soo much for sharing your story and your life, praying God uses your channel and you in a mighty and powerful way!!!
So you had asthma, then basically got pneumonia, then one night you can't breathe so you get rushed into the ER where you go into a coma? And then you wake up 4 days later and you can't move? That seems odd. I've never heard of such a chain of events before. God speed.
I just asked you this question on a different vid! Great in depth response. I have the same concerns going out, even tho I’m just a paraplegic. Thanks for sharing.
