Renae is a newly injured T6 paraplegic and talks about everything from her spinal cord injury, rehab, family reaction, progress and goals. This is part 1 of 2. http://www.easystand.com
Hey Ranae! I was in Mayo in 07. You used to come in and use the bicycle machine while I was in therapy. I got to use it on my last day there, was great! I still stay in touch with Jayne. Good to see you on here. Wish I would have visited with you more.
this is a good example of how people can & do overcome these injuries. like she said, it is scary & new at first, but over time, it becomes a comfortable routine. i was very discouraged at first, but when i look back at how much progress i've made, it is amazing. it is very helpful to see other people with similar injuries doing activites, because it proves that it CAN be done. seeing that someone else can do it gives me the confidence that i can do it too.
I have a friend who is a c-7/8, t-1 injury and he is having a difficult time of it. This video was quite helpful and perhaps I can make suggestions to my friend.
Hi i'm a para t6/7 , i got injured in jully 2006 and to be honest virtually everything i learned in rehab i do different.Spasm's are my biggest pet hate there terrible.6 week's rehab thats cool Renae!!!
I am a rehab registered nurse, I have gained insight from your video and will apply it to my present and future patients. Your message is sooo important it truly makes a difference. I have noticed a difference in a newly injured patients outlook with just a 5 minute talk w/ some as special as you. God speed(: yvette rn
