How a Quadriplegic Gets Dressed | What You Want to Know About Spinal Cord Injuries

Hi, well this video popped up today, I see it’s new, and I just had to write to say how it reminded me of a girl I dated for I guess almost 2 years in college, the way you use your hands just reminded me so much of her. I must say you have great core strength to do that, you say you are a C6-7 and my friend was a C5 so I guess that is why, she was not able to dress herself or grab things as well as you do so that was a job that gladly fell to me when I was there, so just a quick note to say thanks for bringing me some happy memories.

Do you have any spasticity with your SCI or is it totally flaccid?

[@JennySmithRollsOn]

I had severe spasticity before I got a baclofen pump. The pump changed everything for me. Here's an article on my experience with spasms and the baclofen pump. jennysmithrollson.com/what-freed-me-from-the-prison-of-spasticity/

Is there any sensation in your feet and toes?

[@tracycornell9509]

I am a t4 injury and my question for you is do you use the bathroom before you get your clothes on or after because I wait to get my clothes on when I get on my toilet and for 9 years of doing this my shoulders are killing me now

I have had the Mitrofanoff surgery which allows me to cath through a small stoma in my belly. It makes life so much easier! Here’s an article about the procedure: jennysmithrollson.com/from-foley-to-freedom-my-experience-with-the-mitrofanoff-procedure/

Why are you wearing these long socks?

[@JennySmithRollsOn]

They are compression socks and minimize swelling. Plus my legs are always cold, especially in the winter, so I try to keep my legs as warm as possible.
