I am paraplegic with Website sites.google.com & www.facebook.comMany of the things i do are either done wrong or incorrectly. Doing things the incorrect way is probably what made me paraplegic in the first place. Even though they are probably not correct, i hope my video gives you an idea you might possibly be able to do correctly yourself. Follow these videos at your own risk

The Last Day (14:13) This clip was a race against the battery as I wheel to the beach in my bikini and struggle across the sand to get 2 towels for the sun loungers. The wind also against us we find 2 loungers and I park next to one and put the towel on. I transfer onto it and cover myself in sun oil, rearranging my body parts to ensure a good tan. After lying there a good while I transfer back into my chair and wheel across the sand and give the towels back. Out of the public eye, but still in the open, I take my bikini off and start getting dressed into my normal clothes. The camera dies just before I get my skirt on.
My thigh muscles are getting tight which isn’t affecting me right now but I want to catch it before it gets worse. I am sat on the bed with my knees bent and my feet touching to stretch my inner thigh muscles. I shuffle forward on the bed so my legs hang off the edge and lie back to feel the muscles stretch, my lifeless feet dangling. I move around the bed and onto my stomach for a stretch and lift myself up on my arms and attempt to crawl on all fours. I put some socks on to protect my legs before transferring to the floor. I want to show off my new floor to chair transfer so I drag myself across the floor using only my arms, my dead legs trailing behind me. I carefully position my legs and deftly swing into my chair, wobbling to get upright and get my legs into position. I wheel down the hall and transfer onto the floor and back into my chair from two different angles explaining my technique, even trying one with the chair on my right. I top it off with a super wheelie!
Casting Call (18:57) This is my first attempt at casting my legs so it is very much trial and error. I pull a tubular bandage over each leg which is difficult with my floppy feet. I try to wrap cotton wool around my legs too but the cotton wool keeps tearing! I lower myself into the bath to find a good position and test some wet plaster bandage on my arm to make sure it doesn’t burn or itch. When I lift my legs over the side of the bath they keep opening so I sellotape my legs together above the knee and then I start casting my legs together. I didn’t get enough plaster bandage so I can only cast up to my knees. Once it has dried I lift myself out of the bath into my wheelchair so I can go to my bedroom. I lift my legs up and drop them, admitting defeat. I transfer onto the bed to check my skin and cut the bandage off.

Stretch & Pop (21:19) My thigh muscles are getting tight which isn’t affecting me right now but I want to catch it before it gets worse. I shuffle forward on my bed so my legs are dangling and lie back to feel the muscles stretch, my lifeless feet dangling. I move onto my stomach for a stretch and lift myself up on my arms before transferring to the floor and attempting to crawl and get on all fours. I want to show off my new floor to chair transfer so I drag myself across the floor, dead legs trailing behind me. It’s better for my knees to cross my legs and scoot across the carpet. By my chair I can’t get my legs to stay bent to do my lift so I try tying them together before getting a pair of shoes brought to me. That works and I deftly swing into my chair, wobbling to get upright and get my legs into position. I wheel down the hall and transfer onto the floor and back into my chair from two different angles then top it off with a super wheelie!

Close Shave! (13:25) My legs are looking cheap zofran a bit furry lately so I transfer onto the bed to pull my jeans off and remove my cardigan then wheel into the bathroom. I lift my lifeless legs into the bath and transfer onto the bath chair and lower it into the bath. I put some water in the bath then lift, bend and twist my legs to make sure I’ve reached every bit. Once finished I carefully dry my floppy feet and legs, resting one leg on the windowsill so it doesn’t get wet again in the bath. I moisturise to keep my skin touchably soft!
