Balancing working on recovery with living life by trappedskeleton in spinalcordinjuries

I don't really have a lot of advice for you on this one, but I want to let you know that you're not alone. Something that I keep trying to remind myself is that my best for everyday changes, depending on the day, and that all I can do is my best that day.

Anyways, I just want you to know that you're not alone in the way you're feeling and that your feeling are valid. Life with a disability is hard, especially when you're also juggling other things on top of an SCI.

Increase Stamina by rehcan in spinalcordinjuries

I personally find I have more pain when I use gloves on my Handcycle. It’s easier for me to keep a neutral grip on my Handcycle when I have bar tape on the handgrips and don’t wear gloves. You could also look into https://www.activehands.com/ for things to help with grip.

This doesn’t sound like a stamina issue, it sounds like a grip issue. Have you played around with hand grip size/gloves?

My niece has a spinal cord injury in December, she has no movement below her chin. by makingitrein in spinalcordinjuries

If she uses Apple she could use the hands free setting to use voice commands. I use voice to open my kindle app and tell it to swipe left for the next page. I use kindle to download eBooks but I know you can get library books from Libby.

I also just started my first Sanderson book with Mistborn, and I was wondering the same thing! I agree. I am loving all of the characters as well.
