    I did the same mistake when I got bedridden. I didn't want to get a wheelchair and now after 10 years getting it, but unable to transfer easily. Don't anyone ever think wrong about getting a wheelchair. The more you delay it, the more you become dependent. Get in and turn the impossible to possible. Am on this journey to get independent. Thanks to you for posting such inspiring videos.

    I have to give a huge thank you to you and your videos, I dont have a spinal cord injury but I do have a chronic illness that for me effects my ability to walk.everyone around me and even my rehabilitation doctors look at a wheelchair as an illness, rather then a mobility device that gives me freedom. I can only walk a few steps so they dont even think I need a wheelchair! But for me the wheelchair has given be freedom to be able to leave my house and having your videos feels like at least one person has my back and understands it. Btw I have an extremely heavy wheelchair which really sucks

    I can't do any torso rotation movements because of the damage I've sustained.
    I honestly also quit walking as much as possible because there's so much more wrong with my body than just the 3 incomplete SCIs that makes walking or even standing absolute agony.
    I'm now putting all the time that I used to spend getting back on or staying on my feet into re-learning playing bass.
    I used to play before my SCIs but both damage at C4-7 and all the time spend focusing on my legs caused me to abandon the bass. Now it's time to work on my hands again an playing bass both strengthens the hands as well as works them to improve overal functionality.
    Ask a quad what they would pick hand or leg function and hand function always wins.

    I’m an ambulatory user (I’ve got a congenital, progressive neurological condition that has been making mobility harder and harder for me as I get older, and I haven’t even begun to really age yet. I’m not yet 24 and standing and walking are very painful even with frequent PT and a few rehab programs under my belt) who’s 6 month mark in the chair will be in March. I’m ridiculously proud of how much stronger I’ve gotten and how much easier pushing my chair is now compared to in the beginning, but I still get tired more easily than I’d like. I’m very much looking forward to the day when I feel like I can tackle harder terrain and longer distances without worrying about my fatigue as much. This stuff looks super fun though and I’m definitely going to give it a try. I hope you’re enjoying Arizona, I lived down in Tucson for two years and I loved it.

    That's an impressive realization and input/output from someone utilizing what tools they have to make gains. Very powerful motivation, my friend. I've got to keep this in the back of my mind. Though I'm not as differently-abled as you are, my future is bleak at best. I have 2 toes left due to MRSA; Big Toe, and Ring Toe on my left foot, and my right lower leg is completely missing below the calf muscle. Sadly, I am diabetic with the difficulty of control. Odds are my legs will be trimmed higher than they are now. So be it; life still goes on. These are not obstacles or hurdles; I just have to do a little bit more than the average walker to obtain the same starting spot in "life." So far, I have beat these obstacles into submission, and ONLY, my own mind limits my abilities. Tools like "Pushing the Line" are a game changer. Thank you for this, my friend. It will be utilized if I get to that position.

    You give me hope that one day I will be able to ditch my wheelchair. I can walk short distances but I am hunched over even though I am fused and rodded from S1 to T12. I tried your method on my back porch, our roads are too hilly to do on them so maybe I will go play on a tennis court at the park. I have noticed that since I became wheelchair dependent my tendons in my upper thighs have shrunk and now I have to go through the painful process of stretching them out, so I am hoping to one day go back to using just a cane and standing up straight again. The dumbest thing is that I broke my back sleep walking, and no I wasn't on any sleeping pills I used to take Ambien, but quit after I did some stupid shit. thanks for the updates and giving us hope.

    [as example - if you have a seatbelt and flexability as well as enough weight on the back of wheelchair you can do what i like to call "dog walk" hands on the floor and pull the chair, you can get more speed than pushing the wheelchair and helps going up hill, [it hurts your stomuch and its not safe to do but if your on flat its fine, (wear some gloves)]
