Thank you for watching my RU-vid channel. I could try to tell you all about the struggle and ultimate victory I experienced when learning how to braid my kids' hair or tie an apron. Or pick my nose (video to come...). But this is where I get to prove it. It's the ultimate show and tell. I get a chance to show you all the things I've learned and triumphs I've experienced, and then tell you that you can do it, too. Even walking people with use of their hands know what it feels like when this life gets too hard to stand and I am grateful for this opportunity to tell all my viewers - to tell you - that no matter what, you can keep on rollin' :)
You can learn more about my how I was paralyzed and how I stay so happy when you visit me on my website www.MegJohnsonSpeaks.com
I'm coming up on 30 years since my injury I am at C6 quad. Also a diving injury on New Year's Eve 94. Hands down the best thing that has ever happened to me, met my wife 2 1/2 years after my injury we have 22 year old twin boys I have been working in the nonprofit sector for 25 years most of which with spinal cord injury Alberta. I've spoken to over 200,000 people in Canada on risk related behavior, drug and alcohol addiction and psychological and psychosocial adjustment to disability. Like you I'm still an independent transfer and need very little help just in the morning or an hour. As you're probably aware the only thing that sucks about having a C6 or C7 injury is your shoulders start to slowly wear out. I'm still using a manual chair as well but I'm 6 foot 9 and pushing about 275 lbs, so getting around isn't that easy...Doug Manderville
Hi girl, thank you for this video. I just moved to an apartment with carpet and very thick. I cried the second night. It’s so hard to do this. And I have only one hand leg to use. I just move to two ago days.
Beautiful artist! Music is seriously the best mood booster. I have been hemiplegic for 7 years now and I've found that music has a huge impact on my mood. I love church/gospel music but ska music with it's upbeat tempo can really make me smile and giggle too. Secular music with a good message like you said can really lift your spirit. I am lucky to be a sunbeams teacher at church and I look forward to singing time so much! Even 30+years after my own Primary days and I can still remember most of the songs😊 I actually same some of them in my head while laying in the ICU and Neuro Rehab with a breathing tube in my neck. you are such an inspiration to me with your positive outlook on The Future and your constant beautiful smile. Keep on rollin' forward!
I was scrolling through random videos on RU-vid and found you by chance. I’m not someone to write comments but you are totally inspiring. I was asking God the same question that you did - I know you can heal but why is it that I’m not being healed of my blood issue that I’ve struggled with for 28yrs. I received an answer through you and it is true that I’ve been given more in life - a wonderful husband and a happy life. Thank you for sharing your story!
We don't need to ask why he married a girl in a wheelchair. The love in his eyes when he looks at you says it all. And yes, human necks and giraffe necks are homologous structures with 7 bones each. That's evidence of evolution.
What a brave lady. We're all just one fall / accident away from a wheelchair. My uncle had polio and he had an operation that left him paralyzed. Para. He was in a wheelchair for many years and would often get pressure sores and UTI's. He was for the most part upbeat but he did have his moments. I miss his wonderful spirit. Hope to see him again some day. He was a wonderful, kind, caring soul.
Paralysis is not a joking matter. You don't jump like that when you are in unfamiliar rocky territory. She really was stupid. If you disagree with me, then that is ok. Seems like she needs a lot of attention.
This is Wednesday May 29. I felt the power of the Spirit radiating through you in our visit in the temple today I know that Heavenly Father motivated you to come over where was sitting and introduced yourself. Little did I realize who you are . A personal visit from an angel could not have had a greater impact on me I am so impressed by your beautiful angelic countenance then as I watched your presentation today. Thank you Meg. YOU MADE MY DAY. Ken ❤️🕊🙏❤️
Drive to the Channel. I had to get a new phone. And I cannot remember the name of your ckendall. And I just seen a short that you did and I was so happy when I recognized the name. I'm trying to find you. On RU-vid that's where I started watching you but I can't seem to find it.😊😊
I know that this video is a year ago, but your hair did look great. I used to see you on "Our Turtle House", which was a great watch during Covid19. Kind regards, Gina Mac of Queensland, Australia. 😊❤️🙏🇦🇺
How long have you been painting? How did you learn or teach yourself? You seem to do it with ease and confidence. I am one of those odd ones that enjoys watching Bob Ross paint. I have wanted to paint, but I'm actually afraid to. I know that sounds strange, but it is true. But you inspire me to try... maybe... sometime. Have you made a video about you learning to paint?
I love her 💕 beautiful sister 💓 bless Tom, I really relate to this...i have mostly dentures at 51 sadly ... addiction was a huge issue. Lovely, well done 👌🏻💕💕
A couple of days ago your videos started coming through my feed. I know you from Turtle House. Watching your videos and seeing your journey has been so inspirational and your husband is an absolute gem. May Heavenly Father bless your little family with His choicest blessings. Love to all. Gina Mac of Queensland, Australia. 😊❤️🙏🇦🇺
I always enjoy your stories and testimony 🙂 love your art💕 I love music and enjoy Paul Cardall and Nathan Pochenco💓 music can be so calming and brings peace to my heart 😊
