Quadriplegic Transfer Detail
I had a question asked about transferring over a side guard, or how to get your head down low enough to slide. When you are mega tired and no more in your, or weak upper body, it is about technique - not strength.
I decided to answer this question by video last while both super tired and super weak.

      @@meowntown69 truth!! Two things: 1. At the end of the day…ANYONE desiring to end their own lives for any reason is a mental health issue - not a disability issue. And let’s get them the help they need to not want life to end! 2. I have watched people with ALS (probably one of the most torturous, incapacitating diseases that leave your body decimated so a good example) live their lives until the last moment desperately fighting for changes and research and literally give their last machine assisted breaths to bettering the hand that was dealt to them. Maybe if my entire life had been nothing but easy, I am giving up because I don’t think I am capable of hard. But let life teach us! We ARE capable and can do much more with severe limitations than we ever thought. Change your game. Don’t end your life. And for the sake of every human…don’t support the sappy story of life is bad so I am choosing to check out. I stand by my review. Not out of a lack of compassion or empathy but out of a posture of “we must not support your perverted version of yourself!” It is NOT true!! Every human…every shape, size, color and ability has value to society. Society doesn’t determine that value. We do. So Will needs an attitude change. Not a death sentence.

    Iv been a quadriplegic for nearly 25 years now and quad belly has been an issue from almost day 1 of my injury. When I was first able to get up out of bed and into my first wheelchair I had thought I put on a few pounds from being in bed so long until i noticed my stomach was getting bigger and bigger rapidly and my weight had barely climbed at all. Went back for a monthly check up and asked why my stomach now looked like I went ham at every buffet in town and that’s when they told me about quad gut or para belly. After living with it for so long Iv never really found much to help with it, 10 extra pounds looks like 30 pounds when your stomach muscles are gone. I found that hiding it behind a binder is the only way to hide it in public . I was just unlucky because I always see quad bellies that are so little and I wound up with a basketball for a lap.I just learned to except it and it makes for a great arm rest 😂.

    I appreciate you so much… I’m a T12-L4 wrecked guy but you often touch on things that help me. I can (barely stand/walk short distance) it’s no longer anything but a struggling mess of what seems to be declining. Your video on spasms was comments off… That was unthinkably brave of you… It helps others (especially me), grasp what we don’t understand yet. My legs and even up into my abdomen now does this, sometimes wit no warning and always if I try and stand up and they sometimes become so violent I fall. Its sort of new for me, it’s not a actually painful, but not any way pleasant I’m so stubborn and still dealing with the mayhem of problems caused by me being crushed in a rollover accident I don’t have complete sever but just a mass of breaks and many lesions and tears in my spinal cord and a badly damaged T12 and L2 The unthinkable pain finally turned pretty much numb and then the seizures started? I guess that’s a decent trade off. Surgery was an option but everything got pushed off so long that there probably won’t be enough gain to justify multiple surgeries I was told a few days ago, the doctor no longer has much hope in long term improvement. Its simply PT AND PAIN MANAGEMENT to help me remain in self care (and that’s my now reduced goal) My hopes kind of got crushed but once I found out it was a mass of damage, I could tell the outcome was probably already going to be not so great. Doctors explain a lot, but people who experience this stuff become my greatest asset, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU ! Be safe Chance
