Skin stuff
I’m just going to ask something open and well here goes To those in wheelchairs all day do y’all ever get any clogged skin like bumps? I mean it’s summer and even through the year I get them. The doctor gave me clyndamycin for it before. How do yall prevent that? I want smooth skin haha. Any advice is welcome. And my stage two is doing fantastic I’d say by a couple weeks it should be almost all the way gone. I also did t want those bumps to turn into a sore either lol

@Brittney Neunzig I’ll actually show my doctor this time. I rly hate that just because of atrophy I feel so vulnerable hahaha but yea they can help im sure. I’ll be sure to show my doc when I have my annual va appt. It’s a different doctor since we moved last year so even a second opinion is great they may have another thing to help it.

My stage 2 sore is almost a stage 1 yay!!! I have been taking more vitamins and eating well and taking sooo much protein well it feels like so much to me haha. 🤣 so I started wearing my Apple Watch and set it up to have notifications from this app called reminders. It’s not the Apple app but it actually has recurring minutes on there so I have a reminder for pressure reliefs every 30 minutes now and then I have my timer on my watch set up as my favorite so i can easily hit the minute timer and do a relief. That way I will always be notified and I should have been way better with that. But anyway I am now. And every hour or two I lay off my butt for about 30-60 minutes so that helps so much. I’m happy. No swimming until this is healed but family visits in two weeks so I should be good by then. I’m happy. 😊 plus it’s been raining a ton here so it worked out. I got this!

I may continue to lay off my butt here and there anyway during the hot months as prevention. It’ll only help.

Never give up....and document your journey!
I saw this video probably 10 years ago and it inspired me. I thought about it today and wanted to share it with you guys. I started this group because I want this kind of transformation for all of you. This isn't about walking again or gaining mobility. This is about becoming the person YOU ALREADY ARE INSIDE and not allowing the limiting beliefs we carry to write the ending of our story.

This is cool. I was thinking that’s like stretching. You can never tell right away but in months and years of doing little things each day it pays off. I would love to get my hips straight by stretching every day.

Stretching Class
I sure hope I remember that Stretching class will be on Saturday this week. My memory isn’t all that good.

Nice to meet y’all
Hello I just joined. I got paralyzed from a four wheeler when i was 5 weeks pregnant with our son. He was our miracle and thankfully was safe from the injury. I got paralyzed at level T12 and it happened 13 years ago. I just got a stage 2 sore and came because Britt’s YouTube channel gave me inspiration and made me feel mentally better

@Brittney Neunzig yes! It’s okay luckily I treat all like they are horrible so they heal well. In a few weeks I should be good. I’m lucky I saw it now. Bleeding stopped fast and it looks healthy and I’m laying off it a lot more than I’d like to haha. Yea he is easy but my I’m a very type a person and hate laying down all day haha. 🤣 you’re so right tho I think since I have an air cushion and this has only happened if I sheared it or been on best red after a surgery it won’t happen then bam here I am.
