Not many quads live alone. And so it is in my adventurous spirit to push the envelope and achieve living alone in my apartment as a full quad. Every single day, I need 100% assistance getting in and out of bed, positioning, dressing, eating, transportation, washing dishes and laundry, cleaning house, watering flowers … The list is long and goes on for miles. And so it is in the season of gratitude and showing thanks during caregiver awareness month that I bow down symbolically to 7 wonderful, smart and dedicated women that allow me to live my life independently, safely in helping me return to some form of even a smidge of normalcy that I once had in my prior, pre-injury life.
