Keeping My Mobility After the Accident

Just a year ago tomorrow, I was in a terrible car accident that impaired my mobility. It was the worst experience of my life and my life was forever changed because of that moment. I spent a lot of time in the hospital and that gave me a lot of time to think.

But, I am not a quitter, and I decided that I wanted to try to live a normal life if I could. I knew that there were going to be certain limitations for me (for example I walk around with a walker now), but I thought that I could try to have the same standard of living as I used to.

I needed to make some changes around my home to better accommodate my needs. For example, I changed my recliners in my living room for pride lift chairs which helped me to get seated on my own. I was also able to get a walk-in bath installed so I didn’t need to depend on anyone to help me wash myself.

Needless to say, on the eve of the year anniversary of the accident, I am doing okay. I can still take care of myself and have a somewhat normal life despite my physical condition. And that is something that I am proud of.
