    Hey Chris!! Please don't stop making these episodes. As someone who has CP I can relate to you maybe not so much the injury but the struggles that you have faced! Would love to become friends with you

    I clicked on your videos randomly because I thought they were going to be about life on "the vent" but they are sooo much more interesting than I expected! I'm a nurse, I really enjoy hearing about your hospital experiences from a patient's point of view. You're such a fascinating story teller. Please keep up this series! :)

    For years after my accident I thought I walked home, but couldn't hold my head up. A doctor finally told me I must have been dreaming with a C4 injury, there was definitely no way I walked anywhere...it was the meds I was on and I had some wild dreams.

    So glad that grizzly kept his distance, he knew who was boss. Thankfully no one was shot! lol Dilaudid is one hell of a drug, my brother had a press button release...I'm sure he broke it lol Your story reminds me so much of ours. I've cried and laughed with every video. One of the funniest moments we had in ICU was when my brother asked me for his Playboys (condoms)...like really?!?! Intubated and all, those meds had him feeling sexual...I guess! lol Love the videos! Waiting for the next! 😊

    Hey I really like what I've seen of your videos so far! Your energy is cool and you do have an interesting story! Hope everything is ok out there. Greetings from Peru :D

    Oh man, you're so interesting. Without repeating my previous remarks.... just keep making videos. Awesome stuff. I wonder what my spirit animal is (the cat in my avatar passed away a few months back). Maybe I'll try to get high on something to discover what it is. Knowing my luck it's probably a plankton, lol. I'm gonna save your next video for later. Season finale of Ray Donavan is calling me.

      Brenda Guevara hahah, if I ever see one again I'm throwing it in the wind like a frisbee. Hated that thing. Glad you could relate though. Thanks for watching!

    Dilaudid FTW! I had it pushed through a pick line to my heart every 2 hrs. I was full junky mode. That's some serious shit! High five your dog for me. Thanks.

    • @Ghostopherr
      @Ghostopherr  Před 8 lety +1

      Haha I had that pic line too! I'm glad I didn't get addicted to that junky life. Not that us quads could even get into the heroin life with these hands, haha. There's a silver lining to it I guess. Sampson gladly high fived back.

      +Christopher Sotelo Haha well, the taxi ride from my rehabilitation hospital to a doctor appointment was worse than the ambulance ride from the main hospital to the rehabilitation hospital. I'm 6'2 and drove my electric wheelchair up in the back of the taxi van and the guy had all of the doors open, mind you it was 0 F that day. Then he manages to get in and my head was hitting the dome light, so I had to cock my head. He mashes the gas to go and mashes the break to stop. The first three stop lights he stopped at I flew forward and he had to pull over and help me up. Then he finally listens to me and puts a strap around my chest. It look about twice the amount of time to get there...

      ah, that trunk balance is killer! glad he finally listened and strapped you in, that tippy feeling is terrible.

    the doctor who examined was stupid and said I was fine and I could go home, but if I fell into a big puddle my spleen would explode
