I am a C-7 quadriplegic. Sometimes doctors refer to the injury I have as tetriplegia or say I am a tetraplegic. In general, you could say I have a spinal cord injury. I fell off a cliff when I was 22 and I broke my neck. I broke four of the cervical bones, known as C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-6. C-5 was crushed completely and I have a donor's bone. That's where my level of injury is, but the functionality drops two levels so that's why I'm considered a C-7 quad. No one knows why, maybe you can become a doctor and figure it out! While you're at it, maybe you can develop a cure, too! That'll be an awesome day🥰 but for now, I'll do the best I can on this side of walking with the abilities I have. My biceps, triceps, and wrist extension all work, which is awesome. My fingers don't move, but I can feel them mostly, the only ones I can't feel are my pinkies. So that pretty much sums up what I do and don't have. I might be paralyzed, but really, am I all that paralyzed? #notsoparalyzed #megjohnsonspeaks #quadriplegiclife #quadriplegia #paralysis #hotellife #hotelroom #hotel
