Not Being Able to Get Up C5 C6 Incomplete Quadriplegic

I figured I should show not only my progress, but some of the bad days. As of course I am still human. Unfortunately this video does not have a successful ending. It takes time and constant practice to reach goals, I have come to terms with that.
This was awhile ago and I am happy to say I am able to get up easier, but looking back on videos like these make where I am today, even more satisfying.
But remember, it is okay to have bad days. Keep your head up. Check out my blog entry about my bad days :).

Your willingness to show the tough days is admirable, Kiesha. This shows much more than "not being able to get up". It also shows determination, hope, perseverance, support, versatility and the emotions that make the eventual success possible. Girl, your muscles got a workout that day! Thank-you!

I hope at least some things have gotten easier, since you posted this video!

I am C-2 incomplete. Fortunately I have most of my tríceps back but once we did this exercise until we noticed me elbows were bleeding... You are fantastic, best wishes.

You are a trooper there’s no way I could do this. I have a lot of respect for somebody that does that every day. Keep up the good work!

[@KieshaMastrodimosXo]

I'm 5/6 as well. While I can walk and have some function in 2 fingers, I can still see myself in your efforts. That was painful for me to watch. I know how your shoulders had to be screaming at you because they were so tired out. Seeing things like this really wish I could give you my abilities even if it was for just a day.

[@KieshaMastrodimosXo]

You know the struggle and are 100% right. Thank you, the thought is nice :).

That table is way to narrow, everytime you lift, l bet you felt like you where going to fall off! I'm C5-C6 complete 23 years now oct 22. I see the fight in you, keep yourself motivated and have faith. I seen God heal the deaf, blind, and paralyzed right in front of me at a revival. At the time my faith wasn't all the way there because of what l seen on TV before, but I tell ya, I went there for a week and the guy praying for everybody, every time he touched me, my back around my spine felt as if something was going on, The 3 days he prayed for me, I had the same exact feeling every time! So a month went by and my friend stop by my house and I asked him how was his mom doing, because he wasn't the revival, but he told me his mom had been deaf in 1 ear all her life and she was still able to hear out of it. That's when I knew the feeling in my back was God letting me know what he can do for me. Anyway, God bless us all!

[@jharr299]

Oh, you look so frustrated :(. Maybe a silly question but she's holding your feet down so how were you going to be able to get up more than just arching your back up like that? You have such drive, it's beautiful and encouraging.

[@KieshaMastrodimosXo]

jharr299 if she wouldn't have held my feet i would have moved back!! and maybe fell off the plynth haha:)

[@aramintawilliams5205]

How do you stay so positive and not get discouraged?

[@KieshaMastrodimosXo]

I think of all you guys,, all my followers, supporters, and I think of all the good things in my life. I have learnt that dwelling on the negative things gets me nowhere but a dark place..

[@ettinakitten5047]
