    You two are the best kind of real. Some things that continue to inspire me are your resilience and flexibility and love and nurturing with each other. I originally came here for the disability awareness, but it's your relationship I enjoy the most. Thank you so much for your authenticity. It's beautiful to watch your life unfold.

    I know it must be a relief to finally have someone listen to you and validate your concerns. Brian you are an excellent caregiver and boyfriend. I have no doubt Nicollete you will have a full and speedy recovery. I was glad to hear you are temporarily going to live in apartment I think it will make things so much easier during your convalescence. Please update us as you feel able. Best wishes!

    When the New Year 2024 begins, I pray that all of the surgery and healing time will be behind you. Then you can finally start to feel
    better and move forward to all the wonderful times to come. As Nicholette is having surgery and recovery, I hope Brian can keep all her supporters and friends up to date. Of course, only as much information as you, Nicholette and Brian, are comfortable discussing.
    Sounds like a very good doctor.
    Prayers for you every day.

    SO glad you finally have an plan. I've had 2 flap surgeries. Mine took abt 6-7 weeks to heal with gradual time back up. If you can get insurance to cover and the dr recommend-have him get you in a sand bed. It's an amazing bed to be in to help healing.. it gives no pressure on your wound. Helps so you don't have to roll. So they said no rolling at all? I would worry about making another sore if so. Another reason a sand bed would be the best IMHO. Filming in your room when no one is in there I would think would be ok...No matter- you've got this! Video as you feel up to it. We'll all be here! Hugs.

      It's a muscle spasm, which can sometimes happen to people with spinal cord injuries. I had a friend with a T5 spinal cord injury and her legs would randomly start bouncing up and down in her wheelchair. It always made people think that meant she could move her legs. It's all involuntary though.
