@briannaseewald0: Being a Quadriplegic doesn't mean what you think. Over the last few days, I've had many people arguing with me that being a quadriplegic means TOTAL paralysis of arms, trunk, legs when this just isn't the case. Trust me, I used to think that too, and there isn't a lot of readily accessible information on the topic unless you go looking yourself. Being a quadriplegic doesn't mean you're paralyzed from ears down and with no quality of life. People assume I must be bedridden and need 24/7 care, completely paralzyed and no independence. I'm here to show you that's not the case and break down what you THINK spinal cord injuries should look like. I'm an incomplete spinal cord injury, and I was VERY blessed and lucky to have preserved the function I have below my level of injury. I'm a c2 incomplete, meaning all 4 major limbs are affected, either through loss or limited function or altered sensation. This means I still have function to my body, it just works and looks a little differently now. There are quadriplegics who are Olympians, walk, run and even body build. There are also quadriplegicss on ventilators unable to move below their level or injury. No 2 spinal cord injuries are the same. Me and the next person could have the same level of injury but different deficits! It all depends on the severity of the damage to the spinal cord. #breakingdownsterotypes #stereotype #education #spinalcordinjuries #completeinjury #incompleteinjury #quadriplegic #incompletequadriplegic #paralysis #paralyzed #fulllife #fyp #popular #foryoupage #foryou
