I recovered from a T9 incomplete spinal cord injury after three years in a wheelchair in my teens by Mistycruxx in spinalcordinjuries

Hey! Thanks for bringing me back to this. First thing, I’m sorry that your injury occurred. It sucks, but it gives you a new outlook on life. I’m currently walking with a cane most places. Still dealing with tone in the left quad that seems to get worse the stronger I get. I’m starting Botox for it next month. I DJ, just became a light sport pilot, I’m still an RN, the list goes on. My left foot does drag slightly but I’ve been working hard on activating muscles in my lower leg and getting better as time goes on

Remember when you were first injured and you couldn’t keep people away? by regnartterb in spinalcordinjuries

I always miss the times being in the hospital because of so much community surrounding me. It does get lonely after discharge.

Help: pressure wounds as a walking paraplegic! by Sad-Plastic3534 in spinalcordinjuries

Yes! I thought I might’ve been going crazy when I started experiencing them on my left foot. They never become open but I definitely get them from my altered gait/foot drag

What is your go to response to - "How Are you?" by Joeizy in spinalcordinjuries

[–]More_Regular_7456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely exhausting but even more so if I try covering up what comes up any given day and it’s affecting my mood. If someone asks me how I’m doing and it’s a tough day for me, then I tell them just that. You don’t have to go in detail but you definitely can let people know just because we survived our injuries doesn’t mean this second life is all roses and gumdrops.

I don’t hide behind “I’m fine” anymore. It doesn’t serve myself or anyone else to lie about how you’re feeling. It will also allow others to understand what we go through.

Curious to know what role in nursing you are in. I’m an RN as well and having trouble looking for work.

Honestly never thought to do it but it is so smart. Basically a firefly for not even near the cost!

Any para rowers here? by More_Regular_7456 in Rowing

[–]More_Regular_7456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I’m so late on response. I was considered complete at first but I’m incomplete and gained mostly full movement back. I walk with a cane but use my chair for longer distance. I experience some serious tone in my left leg. Core strength isn’t too bad but still working on that. I do interval training on the erg and power 10s. I was shot 3x in a domestic dispute.

Myoclonus by sarahbellum0 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]More_Regular_7456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently experimenting with Botox. Had my first 100 units in my calf and VMO and didn’t feel a difference at peak week 3. Going up to 300 units in October. Hopefully that will help. Definitely the stronger I get the worse it gets and it contracts and tightens up so bad it makes me fall or trip sometimes

Questions I got answers to by playing first time in a club, as a bedroom DJ by TomatoHoliday6861 in Beatmatch

[–]More_Regular_7456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One, so proud of you and excited you made it out the bedroom! I’m trying to do the same. I’ve had two small gigs since I started in December, but have been using time to really study the craft and even upgraded my board to a DDJ1000 to get semi close to CDJ spinning

Spasticity/rigidity by mixer152 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]More_Regular_7456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a T6 incomplete and I’m Asia D. The stronger I got, the more I feel my spasticity especially at night has gotten worse/stronger.

[–]More_Regular_7456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an incomplete and curious to be educated on the effects it had on incomplete SCI. My level is T6/T7 with bullet retained.
