Exited! (Explicit Content)

Today I've decided I'm going to do some modeling. I'm not for certain when this will take place but I've already talked with two photographers about photo shoots! I'm so excited. Last night I ended up falling asleep before I could do my blog so tonight I am writing in the car getting something to eat. I have all of this exciting things coming my way this year. I can't wait to share the details with all of you.

Today I was contacted by a member of a spinal cord injury support group that has a cousin that's in the Springfield hospital after a car accident on May 7. He ran through a red light colliding with another truck, ejecting him twenty feet away. He has a incomplete C5, and C6 spinal cord injury along with other major complications. He just turned eighteen. I told them that we are only an hour away and if they needed anything we were here. I also said that when he became stable I'd love to go visit with him and his family. This is what I want to do the rest of my life! I want to help other spinal cord injury survivors and inspire others to never give up!

I've also decided that instead of staying in my chair all the time I will start going to bed at night. Since I've been staying in my chair I've had two major pressure sores that's taking up a huge part of my life. I'm just very tired of not being able to do the things I want to because I have to keep my weight off my butt. In the pictures I'm posting with this blog I am including some very graphic images of the pressure sores I've been dealing with for the past two years.
