So, this guys rolls into a wheelchair class...
OK, I'm not a comedian. No really, Jeff had a wheelchair class last week to learn some tips and tricks for maneuvering and getting around in his new vehicle. Amanda went along to observe and just provide support, but the instructor had other plans and put her in her very own wheelchair!
How cool is that?! They both learned the tips and tricks and were wheeling around together.
Oh, but this story does not end there...
The instructor has been in his wheelchair for 38 years after being injured while retrieving a frisbee from a tree in PLYMOUTH, MICHIGAN. Get OUT! So, he and Amanda sat chatting about MI for about 20 minutes.
"There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware..."
Jan. 3, 2012, Jeff Adkins life changed when a car turned left in front of him while riding his motorcycle to work. He didn’t have time to stop and suffered a T3 spinal cord injury. He is paralyzed from his nipple line down and now requires a wheelchair to get around. He needs the support of his family/friends during this life changing transition. His blog helps communicate updates on how he is doing, as well as what others can do to help. Feel free to comment, sending your love and support.
Happy to hear of all the progress! Can't wait to hear of all the new tricks you learn this week :-)
