Adjusting to Student Life After Balcony Accident at Student Concert 

Hey beautiful Bailley! My name is Lee, Im a C5-6 Quad using a manual chair in which I earned 2 degrees from a prominent US University, I've been injured 30 years, I'm years old 45 now, live alone in a house I renovated, I work as a licensed therapist with my own practice, you are doing SO well, please know you are doing it 'right', your mind and body will take you far, embrace your youth, protect your shoulders, congratulations on an incredible recovery, live well and be happy!

I think you will be a great occupational therapist and I’m so pleased that you are so supported by great people.

Holy smokes. Girl is strong! She’s almost able to pull herself up with her arms. Even bodybuilders struggle with that.

Bailey, you're an amazingly strong, young woman with a lot of potential. I can see that you'll go far and that you'll achieve everything with the right people and support you've got from others. All the best for your dream of being an occupational therapist and l pray that doors will open for you in this field.

BAILLEYS POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS SOOOO INSPIRING!!! bless her and her journey to recovery 💙

I’m so sorry this happened to you Bailley! But you are so strong and handling it amazingly well!

Such an amazing strong women and all the life accomplishments you have made and so much more in her future ! Wow that car lift is fantastic ..all the best Hailey !

Keep strong sweet heart 💚 U will achieve everything U want U are so strong stay positive from Deb in Australia

How did i not know about this! Youre amazing Bailey, hope everything's going great for you ❤❤❤

You are beautiful and an inspiration to everyone that hears your story .love your bike,super cool!❤️

Be strong young Bailley! Your Spirit is so beautiful and full of life. These bodies are breakable and temporal, but our Spirits are Eternal, never ending. The Awesome Creator that made us designed us just like Himself, Eternal. I can't explain why He put us in these physical fallible bodies but there are reasons for everything. The important thing is our Spiritual relationship with Him. Christ came to make a way for His Spirit to once again live within man/woman. I didn't discover this amazing Truth until later in life. The young people that discover this information will have an incredible life ahead of them. All the best to you Bailley, God bless you!!!

I barely feel safe on my apartment balcony alone let alone with 20 other people the people on those balconies are to blame

You are brave and very beautiful Thank you for doing this 🌷

See how the news is. This is why I don't video things like This or comment on horrible posts when ppl are commenting they don't think about the family or the person might read it. And how it's horrible for them. Thank you for sharing your story to us.

Bailey is so strong

Kia Kaha, all I have to say, two humble words

Wow I would love an update? Such a beautiful family 💜

Keep going doing amazing things stay strong stay safe takecare sending luck hugs love from headway Nottingham UK takecare xxx

Great Bailley! go your way and dont stop no matter what!!

I liked the line " I'm just like you except I'm sitting." Yeah, Bailey, you're only Differently Abled! And everyone else is Temporarily Able Bodied.

Like, even though your spine is hosed, you're still an awesome Kiwi. You go, girl!

I like the way you dress !! So beautiful so elegant 👌🏻

Weird the other decks stayed full. I would have been back off the deck immediately

Yeahhhhh! OTs for the win! Would like to see an update. Have you finished your studies? Which area of OT are you most interested in? All the best Bailley!

She got some serieous arm strenght. 😱👌

I am in a wheelchair if people say poor you or other things I said I'm thankful the hospital system (live in Australia)

So...The doctors didn't tell her what they clearly knew from the first scans??? Bailley, I think it's so cool you're going to be an OT!!!! (In my line of work I meet a lot of them.) Your unique perspective and passion for accessible and compassionate treatment is going to be such a blessing for any clients you work with.

Wow so beautiful ❤ would love to know how she is going with her degree.

There were too many people on the balcony

I knew it as soon as I saw them balcony just all the people on it I said one of them was going to fall and then it happens wow

Your hank trike looks cool

'Could it have been prevented'? That is kind of a moot point now, isn't it? Besides, there were WAY too many people on that balcony. Even if the building codes were up to snuff, you have to admit wood would not hold that amount of weight. I am a C4 incomplete...but you have to not blame certain things and just look at it realistically. Actually, Bailey, don't feel guilty...at least you were smart enough to be on the ground.

What is their accent? I cannot understand half what they're saying

Such a strong young lady the band should be ashamed of themselves for the safety measures that were not taken during that show , will never listen to that band again

Is the level of injury mentioned?

Sorry if this upsets people but this video made me very angry and I 'disliked' it. And it's not a serve at Bailey for the stupidity that led to the accident. But apart from the ACC logo at the very end of the video there was no mention of the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by ACC on rehabilitation, house modifications at both her parent's house and at her flat, multiple wheelchairs for different purposes, a wheelchair bike, a modern fully adapted car etc. etc. No thanks for the ACC Case Manager(s) who made all of that happen. No mention that if the accident had happened anywhere else it would have required litigation to get a fraction of what was provided. I'm sure she'll make a great OT and it's a great career choice. But New Zealanders need to stop bagging ACC and start appreciating it.
