CLIENT

Hi. I am an easy to be with, newly quadriplegic woman. I enjoy getting outside, especially into the wilderness, sports (adapted downhill skiing, kayaking), physical therapy, working out, reading, yoga and meditation. I like to focus on the positive, but to be truthful, I have to tell you that there are also days when I have to focus on business work and some days are what I call "survival days" “ days spent staying alive. These can be tough days. By believing in myself and the support of others, I pick myself up and get moving again. I have regained significant functional skills and there's more to come! I cannot do this on my own I need a consistent home program and that requires consistent helpers.
