Paraplegic bedtime routine: mostly tea and pee

I recently got a request for a paraplegic bedtime routine video and I figured I go to bed every night so I don't have a good excuse not to do one lol.
My bedtime routine isn't super interesting but there are some things that I do that I think are important so I hope you find it helpful!

I think you are amazing. I love that you have such a positive, can-do attitude. We all can learn how to better take care of ourselves by watching you.

I’ve been in a chair since 90’ and You Kick Ass. More than anything, your candor and Comfort with “Baring”-it-all in the name of education is refreshing. Humor is my mechanism to wander through “uncomfortable” topics (e.g. paralysis and body function) but you do it So Gracefully with a component of humor such that it mitigates any _weirdness_ with the unknowing in what is Typically the most uncomfortable discussion between us and the genuinely curious. Forgive the dissertation but I hope you’re aware of your gift. Newish’ to the channel but will be a return customer when the vid’s pop-up. You really are Hilarious!

This was such an amazing comment to wake up to! What you just said is my "why" for doing what I do. I really needed these words today when imposter syndrome and doubt has been high. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for taking the time to share your appreciation for my channel. You are gifted with words! Please write as many beautiful comments at you feel compelled to lol! Feel free to reach out to me if you want to connect outside of the comments! [e-mail]

Hi. Love your videos. Just started watching them recently. I know this video is a year old, so not sure you'll see this, but where did you get your pants? I'm a paraplegic from MS and use a Purewick external urine collection system and could really use those pants!!! Thanks. ❤😊

We are finally getting to the last 10 videos we haven’t watched yet. Do you only take Bell’s Bladder Control Tea at bedtime?

[@EmpoweredPara]

I did. I stopped taking it after a few months

[@EmpoweredPara]

I was just thinking about you! My friend was asking about yhr implant you have and I couldn't remember what it was called! How are you?

I have a question. How do you go about without the armrests? I guess I am just used to them, but if I take them off I regret it cause I usually rest my arms there when I am not doing anything.

[@EmpoweredPara]

I used arm rest for years! I just decided I didn't want to use them after my kids were born. It took along time to get used to not having them but I can't stand them now!

[@Jaggededge112]

@@EmpoweredPara Oh Maybe one day I can try to not use my arm rests lol. It might make transferring easier. I just don't know what to do with my arms.

[@EmpoweredPara]

@@Jaggededge112 I put my hands in my lap most of the time

[@Jaggededge112]

T- pee is an Indian tent are you an Indian, sorry I always have a tendency to make light of everything, tea is my favourite drink us Brits drink more tea than any other countries I can think of, some people in our village drink nettle tea they say that it's good for your health they all seem to be older people so perhaps they are right,

[@morgancalvi6675]

Am I missing Mondays with Margaret?

[@EmpoweredPara]

She is gone for the winter. She goes to palm springs for 5 months She should be back soon and we'll start again!

[@nathaliemayrand5776]

Another great video, thanks! I noticed that you have a zipper in the crotch area of your leggings. Are most of your leggings modified that way?

[@EmpoweredPara]

All of my pants I get modified so I can pee from my chair! I ask for a 9 inch zipper in the crotch.

[@howiroll740]

Hi you, I like your modified pants.

[@EmpoweredPara]

thanks! they're useful!
