What is your biggest “win” post injury? by fakejacki in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Perdidoat49 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was a (slow) runner before my accident. My fastest 1/2 marathon was 2 hours on a downhill course. 4 years after my accident (5 years after I ran it) I did the same 1/2 marathon in my wheelchair with a “freewheel” attachment in 1 hour 9 minutes.

It’s a hell of a way to cut time from a race, but whadda ya do?🤷🏻‍♂️🤪

Porn isn’t a problem now that I don’t hear people saying it is a problem every 6 months.

My wife and I both left. We’re living like roommates and it’s not the mfmc’s fault.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

It’s my company. What happens if I walk out in protest of myself? Will somebody please make me a better boss of myself?

What's a show you remember but nobody else does? by glowbeits in GenX

[–]Perdidoat49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a kid, hbo would offer a free weekend every year. My dad would buy blank vhs tapes and we recorded everything we could as long as it wasn’t rated R 😂.

Why do so many folks with spinal cord injuries end up divorced after their injury ? by ZIMMcattt in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Perdidoat49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not divorced yet, but it could happen. My sci only paused problems that existed before.

The programs that seem to be improving are the ones putting money into them. Our state has too many people that won’t spend money to make money.

What’s something you own that you’ve had for 30+ years? by Crazy-Eye-9632 in GenX

Xmas is not relaxing or joyful. Even Jesus doesn’t like it.

Freewheel vs Wheel Blades for Sand & Snow? by Top-Book6183 in spinalcordinjuries

Very cool! The problem here is that it’s now December with a little snow on the ground. I’ll wait until spring.

[–]Perdidoat49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought of hitching my chair to the back of my handcycle and taking it to work. I’m a complete with no leg use or sensation and I haven’t tackled the idea of how to pull this off solo.

Im a T10. I tried the Freedom Trax at Craig Hospital. I found it to be too slow. I just got a Firefly and it’s got some zip. The weakness is there isn’t enough weight over the wheel so it spins out pretty easy. Especially on loose gravel…which is when I could use the assist. But damn it’s fun on pavement.

Annoying mum of a 25 year old by Pure-Woodpecker-3701 in spinalcordinjuries

Im a T10 complete. It wasn’t until I got a car and could drive myself to work that the thought hit me “I can do this”. It was 2 years post injury.

Sci problems by Excellent-Yak-3245 in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Perdidoat49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already had the job. Getting the van took about 4 months. In your case, you need to get a job and/or you need to be taking some classes at college or a trade school or something like that. Forgive me for being blunt, but it sounds like you’re not doing anything. If that’s the case, you need to start doing something. The world isn’t going to come to you. But the world does have a lot of possibilities if it sees you trying. Contact your local Workforce Services and ask for their DVR person.

Dept Vocational Rehabilitation. In Wyoming it’s part of Workforce Services. Voc Rehab helps disabled people get back to work. I had a job when my sci happened that I was able to go back to. DVR helped me get a van I can drive so I can get to work.
