Wheelchair style, socks- where, how much & putting them on;L1 injury 7-19-11

I am paraplegic. Many of the things i do are either done wrong or incorrectly. Doing things the incorrect way is probably what made me paraplegic in the first place. Even though they are probably not correct, i hope my video gives you an idea you might possibly be able to do correctly yourself. Follow these videos at your own risk :)

@d72466fly feel free to add me if you like. I would like a friend like you.

@d72466fly I don't know what you know. You know life in a wheel chair and that is a part of you. don't get me wrong. believe me I can be very negative and I'm no angel. I try to get on the best way I can sometimes it's not easy. But I don't make fun of people's disabilities. Hey I have an invisible one so there you go. Mine is depression and anxiety. I hope you don't mind me sharing that with you.

@hippyable your sense of humor sounds cool. Thank You again for the kind words & if you have any suggestions about things in life from a chair or not that you'd like to see in a video i could try, I'll see what i can do :) The wheelchair is just a bump in the road, & we all deal with challenges in our daily life that we gotta maneuver around. You sound like you know about this & what's really going on ... Very Cool, very cool

@d72466fly Hey I'd put up with your quirkiness anyday. I have a sick sense of humor and that's what keeps me going and gets others laughing. I hope your wife will be there for you for life. I'm sure you deserve it.

@d72466fly I'm sure they will come back to themselves once you get into elevating them again. Once again I love your positivity. Some people want to die or become really angry when they have to use a wheel chair. But everyone is different. I know if I had to use a wheelchair I'd keep living to the best of my ability. I found ways to maneuver myself when I had a broken leg. So there are ways around things. You have shown that in it's entirety.

@hippyable i elevated 'em last night; it'll take a while for the swelling to go away i guess :/

[d72466fly]

@hippyable She is an Awesome lady to deal with all of my weird habits. I Love her a Whole Bunch, & i hope she can put up with me & my craziness for a little while longer :)

[hippyable]

@d72466fly P.S. You have a wife. She must be one lucky lady. god love her and you.

@d72466fly Maybe you should elevate your feet again. to be on the safe side. keep in touch okay. it's nice talking to you

[d72466fly]

@hippyable well :) Very Nice of you to say :) i just wanted to tell you that i usually elevate my feet at night, but i have not for the past couple months, & i think without this elevation at night when i sleep has caused that swelling of my right knee, not the compression socks. Compression socks are good though, i was just trying to not elevate at night, & oops, that didn't work :/ Live & Learn :)
