C5 QUADRIPLEGIC | 24 HOURS ON WHEELS 👊🏼💪🏼♿️

Dive into a day in the life of yours truly, Jerod Nieder, on "Positively Paralyzed" 🌟. This punchy 5-minute vlog? A rollercoaster from groundbreaking strides in quadriplegic research to the epic quest of conquering a Chipotle burrito 🌯 (yes, it's a big deal).
We start with me, standing tall (thanks to an epidural stimulator) showing off science's latest marvel that's pushing the boundaries for quadriplegics. Standing? Walking? Just your average day defying the odds. Then, witness the dramatic aftermath of a Chipotle feast - a wild 15-minute nap 😴.
Next up, I'm baring my soul in a virtual counseling session because, let's face it, talking about feelings is the new cool 😎. I'm making mental health discussions trendy, one heartfelt confession at a time.
Cut to: cozy cuddles with my dog, Belle🐶, because who else is going to listen to my post-therapy thoughts? Fast forward to a fresh morning of getting dressed, shaving, and a tear-jerking moment with a stranger who's somehow channeling my mom vibes. Emotional much? Absolutely.
And because life isn't just about groundbreaking research and emotional rollercoasters, I throw in some laundry and video editing - the glam life of a wannabe KZbinr.
This vlog is a mix of innovation, food comas, emotional wellness, and daily hustle, all rolled into one. Tune in to "Positively Paralyzed" for your dose of inspiration, sarcasm, and a side of reality check.

I think it's really important that partners recognize that the other person needs their sleep - sometimes sleeping in your own bed / space is the best. I know more people who sleep in seperate rooms or beds during the work-week, because sleep is important 😊 also, love that you help with the laundry, its such a chore thats such a pain in the butt 😂

Hi Jerod. Great videos. Do you think that epidural stimulation has helped you with your physical recovery? Has it helped increase the strength in your triceps? also with regulating blood pressure?

[@PositivelyParalyzed]

I will say many things have improved. Triceps not so much but absolutely regulating blood pressure 👊🏼💪🏼♿️

[@ronbarton7799]

​@@PositivelyParalyzedthanks for the info. You stated other things have improved as well. what might be those things as well?

[@PositivelyParalyzed]

Temperature regulation, UTI’s, spasticity, energy levels, sleep, core stability

My husband has spasms and he takes medicine for it at night. It seems to help him. Maybe you could talk with your doctor about it.

[@PositivelyParalyzed]

Not a fan of spasm medication’s or the side effects. It’s a personal decision and I respect whichever way you go as long as you are informed. 👊🏼💪🏼♿️
