  • I don't always go out, but when I do I make sure I look good!
    Kidding....I mostly make sure I'm comfortable lol. But every once in a while a girl's gotta get dressed up. It's not my favorite thing to do, so my friends jumped in to help me out and make it more fun.

    When I saw you changing, I thought a number of things, all of them wholesome. What a wonderful personality. What a fun person, what barriers you have to overcome daily. Some of us have the short term, or temporary problems of spinal, leg, or shoulder surgery, then, after a while, we can return to what is hopefully normal-ish existence. You have a burden that you always make light of in every video. What a great inspiration you are to all who see you. Brian is a man after my on heart, if it does not look right it is not right, so fix the mess. Thank you for brightening a day that was not one of my best.

    I’ve been trying to teach myself how to UA-cam. I find myself filming myself doing something, then adjusting the camera to capture the next step of the something I’m doing and walking into frame so it will look continuous. I’ll put the camera here, then stick my face in the camera to make sure it’s recording, then walk away and walk into the frame like I’m not purposely recording my activities. Toward the start of this video, you have a clip of you leaving through your front door. Very simple, nothing WOW about it. Then I saw you in my mind, go back inside, get the camera, pack it up to take it with you and then actually leave your house. So I just wanted to validate the extra effort that goes into even a simple shot. Not because of your disability or anything, just amateur to more-advanced-amateur. Thanks for the inspiration. Now, I’ll get back to watching the video. But I thought it, so I commented it.

    The dresses looked great on you especially the one you wore to the event. You were beautiful in it.
    I've used for many years a "Velcro Netted Hammock Like Catch All" that's attached to the frame underneath my wheelchair. (Don't remember real name of product). It's so easy just to throw anything under there when I want my lap empty of holding stuff such as a purse, jacket, bag of groceries, bottled water, your camera..... . You might like something like this as well. When I get a new wheelchair I just un-velcro the net and attach it under my new chair.

      @@EmpoweredPara I've never had any issues with anything bouncing out or even just falling out for that matter. When you Velcro the net to the sides of your frame you can have it as tight or as loose as you want the hamack part to be. I like a dip in mine. I don't use a backpack so I really love my underneath "netted catch all" to keep my lap free when I want/need to.

    I liked how you'd look on that 1st black "sparkly" dress (we call that 'lentejuelas' in Spain), looked good on you imo; but... take fashion advices from a punk that dresses in BDUs and Tshirts... "may not be that wise", also, nice scar you've on your back, the one i've on the leg it's all dark red and brownish. Anyway, seems you had a good time and i'm glad about it; thanks for share it and have a good weekend!.
