Being a quadriplegic is alot of work…

As a quadriplegic there is a lot you have to worry about that other people don’t realize. Keep in mind that these are only the things that I don’t think most people realize…

You have to constantly check yourself for pressure sores.

You have to constantly remind yourself to change positions so you don’t get a pressure sore.

You have to make sure the cushion in your wheelchair is pumped up to the proper PSI everyday.

If it’s cold outside you have to remember to check your hands and feet to make sure they’re not too cold. Even with gloves and socks and shoes.

You actually have to focus on how much water you’re getting each day.

You have to worry about the amount of calories you get each day.

You have to make sure your feet aren’t touching or rubbing up against something hard.

You have to pay attention to the color of your urine.

And you have to worry about when you’re doing bowel care since you can’t just jump on the toilet.

Oh and hey!!! If donkeydidit… You can too!
