I believe that life is a series of experience, and life has affected me a lot that many quadripelegis have not been given the opportunity to do.
I spent 2 years in hospital/rehab. I had the support of both my parents which is rare in this day and age. It was hard for all of us, but we survived. When I finally got to come home my mother sat me down and basically asked me where I wanted to go from here, this seemed to me a silly question and said of course go back to school. My mother then started learning about putting a person through the public school system with a child with special needs. There wasn't anything wrong with my brain so the main obstacles was getting the school system to pay for a personal attendant for me. Long story short I ended up being the first person in my small city to graduate with a regular diploma who was in a wheelchair.
Unfortunately two years before I graduated my father was diagnosed with cancer. He died six months after my graduation.
Four years after graduation I moved to a group home. I attended some college, but didn't take it very serious and never graduated. After saving enough money i bought my own home where I lived semi independently with 24/7 atendendents.
All this time i had a trust account paying for all my care, unfortunately I ended up depleting all my funds. My only option was moving to a nursing home. I don't want sympathy., i have it good here. A blu-ray player and amazon fire TV and a tablet plus Internet in my room. My mom and step dad visits once a week, and grandchildren once a month, which is just fine. In the meantime I keep busy with books movies and TV. I do get depressed, but overall I have a good life.
I'm technically a male, but from an early age i knew i should have been born a girl. I felt like something was wrong with me, like I was the only person with these feelings. What i was 11 i was in a car accident leaving me a quadriplegic, from age 11 through 27 i repressed these feelings until learning from a psychologist I was not alone, and gave a name for these feelings.
I have thought about changing my sex through hormone replacement therapy and surgery, but being a quadriplegic+all my health problems i decided the risk was too great
Now everyone here knows my deepest darkest secret. Just please remember i identify with a lesbian. I hope everyone here can and will accept me.
I have decided to change formats and give all you fang bangers a little glimpse into my sick twisted mind. I hope you find it interesting. Please be sweet and rate and comment.
