I’m disabled after being involved in a motorcycle crash. I was never prepared for how much you have to adapt to carry on living. But getting there I think.

Hi @Demon
Good Evening & Welcome.
I am very sorry to hear about your accident.
Yes as an ex biker I have seen plenty of my friends get into similar situations.
Some good & many many bad.
I am one off the Community Champion’s here at Scope.
Please please let me know if there’s anything that I can help you with ????

Thanks for the introduction. I’ve found adjusting everything in my world to suit the new me is really difficult. It can be straightforward but blooming frustrating.1

Hi Demon,
How old are you? I’m losing my mobility and have been struggling also. I’m fiercely independent and to have to rely on people is driving me nuts. Surely life shouldn’t have to be this difficult! It would be nice to talk and get ideas how to adapt. You sound like you are adapting to situation quite well. What’s your secret!0 -
I’m 42. I don’t have a secret but very determined. The stubborn streak has got me from a wheelchair to walking unaided in 10 months. Losing my independence hurt but I’ve had to accept that I need help. Still do. I might not like it but I’m grateful for it. I see every morning I wake up as a bonus. I need to make peace with my disability and get on living. I was hoping to chat to others that know what I’m going through. My family and friends have been great but they don’t get frustrated with the simple tasks in life.0

That’s really good that your able to walk unaided. I lost mobility twice from surgery and Doctors said I would never be able to walk but I taught myself to walk twice in my lifetime. Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to this, this time round. If your walking unaided after 10 months who knows what else you accomplish. Good luck to you.0

Thank you for the messages. I don’t feel like a total muppet there are people who have overcome a lot more than me and are still going from strength to strength. It’s nice to chat to genuine people.0
