Re: more transition for me
Know that we are here for you !!
There are stretching exercises you can do yourself from your wheelchair and exercises to improve curculation in the lower part of your body. If you have access to a transfer shower bench you can learn to wash your body parts-----perhaps one new body part every few days.
All those will improve your strength eventually. Maybe you can get some videos or DVDs of seated exercises to watch and follow along when you have time. Even something that does not seem like a big exercise can help rebuild strength. Don't let anyone tell you there is no hope !!!!!!!!!!!
I had a back injury which not only fractured my back, but caused nerve damage the beginning of July. I was in the hospital most of the summer and very weak after I came home. I rebuilt most of my strength myself a little at a time. Today I climbed over the wheelchair twice --once to let the visiting nurse in after she couldn't figure out how to unlock my door with the key I gave her before she went to her car to get something she forgot. !!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I am getting stronger.
