My 20 year old daughter was injured and became quadriplegic in January of this year . She is in rehabilitation and coming home in about 5 weeks. Due to the virus I cannot watch her therapy , however she is learning to transfer in and out of bed herself using a sliding board . Your videos are very helpful and informative . Thanks for taking the time to make them .
I love your positive attitude & outlook, it really humbles me. Shows us all the things we take for granted being able bodied. I hope u are still rocking it & doing well. :)
Wow! So I just want to tell you how amazing I think you are before I exist out of this video! Like here I am feeling bad for myself for having to do dialysis three times a week...and then there's you dealing with this....you are very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story because it has definitely humbled me!
When your dedication surpasses any obstacle that has ever opposed you. I've been a C5 quad since high school graduation in 2010. I stride to get to this point. I have a hard time just sitting up. My blood pressure, bladder, and perineum are main problems right now. I look up to you.
You Made That Look So Easy And Yet, That Wad Something You Struggled To Give Yourself More Independence. Super Congratulations On Working Much Harder And Achieving Your Goals. You’re a True Inspiration On Many Levels.
i think you're the first person to acknowledge out loud the realness of the fear that while busy and distracted transferring side to side, your body is NOT concentrating on holding you up and (you feel) can not be trusted to do so! thank you
this was really informative. ive never actually seen how someone who uses a wheelchair transfers to bed. im doing an accessibility audit of my house for my disability in society class and was wondering if the beds in my house would be accessible. this was super duper helpful!! also, i love ur energy, this was a really fun video to watch that made me smile! :)
Wow that fantastic i work with people with a . Disability and I've never seen anyone do that I worked with quadriplegic I must admit that's fantastic and I love your videos thank you❤❤❤

Wheelchairs should be voice activated. You are on the seat. Tell the chair to drop anchor and lock. Tell chair to lower the sidearm, raise the seat you are already on. Extend the board with you on it. I’m on the bed. Retract.
Hey Corey! :) I just came across your videos and just want to say thank you for posting! You are so encouraging...which I needed today. How are you doing? :)
Lol, my mom would beat the crap outta me if I put my shoes in my bed then she would probably call my grandma, then my grandma would beat the crap outta me, u r incredibly brave to do that I would be scared
You are very strong thank you. I have been 8 years on C5-6 Quadriplegic but I can not doing that. would you please help me ? it's hard for me to push and move my body
Admire You... so confident!! I cracked my Neck too C5.6. But im ok just need to Do Physio every now n then n certain Sleepstyle and Stretching... ufff. Follow all your Info and Videos..
Wow, you have a lot of strength, you put me to shame. I have generalized weakness, primarily on my left side from Multiple Sclerosis. I’m in a wc because some days my left leg won’t move at all. It’s been this way for nearly three months. I call it my “dead leg.” On those days I can’t hardly move it with both hands. It’s like it weighs a couple hundred pounds and glued to my footrest. I wish I could figure out a way to get into bed as quickly as you. Sometimes it takes an hour till I can get it to cooperate. Not really complaining, just in need of some good instruction.
"Tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia, is paralysis caused by illness or injury that results in the partial or total loss of use of all four limbs and torso; paraplegia is similar but does not affect the arms. "
I straight cathed for 20 yrs until last week, the tube wouldnt go in, I had ad bad, blood pressure 290 and ambulance came, they put a foley in for 2 weeks and I want to go back cathing but might need a pill for leaking a bit between caths
They make time release oxibutinin. My insurance only pays for regular type. I self cath 5x day. Urologist suggested oxibutinin. At first it caused severe dry mouth and I tolerated leaking. Then a year later I could take oxibutinin better. All my support group takes oxibutinin
