New Year Goals 2017

12/31/2016

I told everyone a few days ago that I would write down my goals for this coming year 2017. I only have a few of them ready at the moment to share with the world so as I discover more I will edit my list on my Facebook.
-Start doing photography as a job
-Regain the use of my hand
-Regain enough strength to transfer myself in and out of the wheelchair
-Learn to drive
-Find love again
-Start getting my degree in graphic design
-Expand my blog and my YouTube channel
-Learn to professionally edit my videos
-Start paving the way towards using a manual chair
-Get a hedgehog
-Start and finish my book

My main goal for 2017 is to just be happy with who I am and except my body for what it is. I cannot change who I am so I should embrace the person that I am in the person that I'm going to become as years go on. I hope to encourage everyone who is new to spinal cord injuries not to give up!

Surgery... 2017

One week from today I will be heading to Baton Rouge in order to have surgery that will place the baclofen pump in my stomach. I will be in the hospital for 2 to 3 weeks. I am excited but also a little afraid at the same time. I don't really know how my hand is going to function once the baclofen pump has been installed. I will have so much that I will have to relearn. I also know that this is the right step to go in the direction that I'm wanting to go so I will do this and I will find a way to live again without my hand if that's necessary. There are other quadriplegics out there that can live life without the use of their fingers and hand so I know that I will survive no matter what. I hope everyone had a good holiday season and I'm sorry that I have not been blogging lately. As we say goodbye to 2016 I hope the new year brings great joy to everyone! I have many goals for 2017 and I hope everyone has also made their goals. In my next blog post I will be writing about my goals for 2017 so please stay tuned!

This Christmas as everyone gathers around the Christmas tree and the tables please remember the love ones that we have lost not only this year but in the years past. Just because they are gone does not mean you have to forget about them and the memory that they left with us. I know that it is going to be hard for everyone who has lost a loved one being as I just lost my mother in January and it will be my first one without her. I've been going through a really rough patch here lately and that is why I have not posted anything on the blog and I am very sorry for all of that. I have been going through my own sort of depression that is what you want to call it. I am trying to bring myself out of it without needing professional help and so far it is working but I would gladly except help if it becomes any worse than what it is right now. I am going in the hospital in a matter of days to have a surgery to put the baclofen pump in my spine so that all of my spasticity goes away. I am hoping that this surgery can bring back my energy and my will to pull out of everything that I'm going through. It is coming up on the year mark since my mom passed away and I think that has a lot to do with it not only because she was my best friend but she was my caregiver and my mom and I loved her very much. This is going to be hard and I know that for the rest of my life I'm going to miss her but she's in a better place and I know that. I have to figure a way out of what I'm going through before I can start looking forward to the future. As I go through this process I'm going to try and document it for every one of you through this blog instead of through my video blogs on my YouTube channel because it is easier for me to write this stuff down that it is for me to be able to look at the camera in the eye and do the confessions I guess. I have been avoiding doing this blog post because then I have to face my feelings for the whole world and it's difficult for me to do that. I have to let everything that I am feeling out so that I can find a way to move on and be the person that I want to be. I keep putting on a smile for my family and my friends and everyone around me so that I don't know what I'm truly feeling and I don't know if I want to let them in on what I'm feeling. I have to do something so I guess I'm going to start here. I will continue my feelings later now I am going to bed good night and Merry Christmas and a happy new year if I don't post anything before then.
