We aren’t meant to live alone
Jared and I talk about the importance of relationships with people, not just with a significant other, but your friends, your family and your community. Being alone or isolation only gives the devil a foothold.

This is the man that has taken on my injury and taken me on so many adventures and will soon take my hand in marriage. Ladies and gents with a new spinal cord injury, the worst thing you can do is isolate yourselves.

      @Thebraatens 8 місяців тому

      Sorry I never replied to this! It’s just a simple wrist brace from Walmart. I just don’t like when my hand hangs down. I guess I’m afraid that I will stretch the muscle on top of my forearm and caused permanent tightness underneath. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I already watched so many videos of spinal cord injured people. But amongst all you are the most positive most happy (your smile tho 😊) and most energetic person in this conditions and situation i can say. Your attitude towards life is good and the coolest 😎 Its given me some much positivity and inspiration towards my life. Thanks a lot 🙏 You may doesn't have muscles like before but you are Olympic gold winner in life's bodybuilding competition. ( 3.37 is the cutest 😍 And Roxanne 😂 lol)

      @Thebraatens 3 роки тому

      Aww! This is so kind! 🙏🏼 Thank you! Honestly the only way to fight the depression is gratitude (and in my life, Jesus). Even if you don’t have much, you can always change your mindset to focus on what you Do* have and use that to live life to its fullest potential! Also, with the way technology is moving so fast, we quads need to maintain our bodies so that when something does become available, we are ready and eligible for it! 🤓💪🏼❤️🙏🏼

      It really is so good for stretching, especially if you warm your shoulders and back up by doing pull downs and then stretch your arms out. 👌🏼 And you can really set this up anywhere. I have bands set up in my room to do the same thing.
