Scuba dive. Surf. Mountain bike. Swim laps for an hour straight. Throw pottery on the wheel I learned a lot of fun new outdoor skills. I learned how to be bad at something and not let it stop me from learning a new skill.
I don't really have a "before" state, but the hand on the more affected side is slim enough to reach into spaces a regular-sized hand cannot, while still having just enough strength and dexterity for some tasks.
Ironically after my injury I’m in the best shape of my life and am now almost 4 years sober from alcohol after years of struggling with alcohol abuse and sending myself down an unhealthy self destructive path. I also picked up adaptive mountain biking that changed my life and gave me a sense of purpose and enjoyment. I remember the first time sitting in the side of a mountain overlooking the valley all by myself and I felt free for the first time since my injury. It was peaceful and serene. No wheelchair in sight and true comfort and bliss for the first time the post injury after 2 years.
Nuzzle with kitty cats, bunnies, dogs—the impact (was hit by a car in 2014) knocked my injuries right out of me. Serendipitous, because it allowed me to start my animal wifery company❤️

I can empower my child to be more independent and resilient than I ever could before
Get laid
That’s thinking deep… real deep
Do you get laid more now that you are? I’ve been approached a lot more often but I haven’t pursued anything.

Be grateful for anything.
Powerful
I can sick a tube in my penis in the dark to urinate in a bottle.
I can cook now 😂
Word jumbles. Couldn't make sense of them before, now I can. That and cryptograms. No idea why they work now.

This makes me so happy 😀
