They truly are ❤

Unfortunately, I never was able to walk down the Aisle. I used my wheelchair. I decided to focus on the day instead of struggling. It not only changed my focus to our wedding, enjoying every minute of it, it also helped with pain management. Honestly, no one wants to be in pain on their wedding day. :)

Not in the beginning but hopefully later.. :)

I know all about SDR, but as an adult, I didn’t qualify because I couldn’t walk unassisted and that’s a requirement only for adults. Honestly, I just wanted to reduce my spasticity remove it altogether just to make life easier and to be in less pain. The SPML surgery for a lot of people it last for years it just wasn’t my experience. I don’t know it if it was because I was in my 40s when I had it done or that I’ve pretty much been a full-time wheelchair user since I’ve been 19 prior to that a part-time wheelchair user growing up. And when I did and I useless term, loosely walk, I had braces and walkers finally graduated to canes I could never pick up my feet. It was a real struggle to walk. I think the SPML Surgery is perfect for someone who can walk pretty decent, but just has some trouble then I think it would be even more effective then for somebody with my level of disability

That makes sense. I appreciate your sharing your experience I am 39 with hemiparesis and very tense right now I am trying to weigh my options I think SDR and PERCs may be the best way forward for me. I am ambulatory though I did read SDR works for non ambulatory people the surgeon I was considering actually prefers operating on quadraplegics I never got to meet him so i'm not sure why but I thought that was interesting and he takes adults. I just read that SDR works the best for diplegia but I know everyone is different and I did read it can be much less effective for non ambulatory patients I think it's a good idea to ask around though because SDR is relatively new and they seem to keep making developments

@@kristinewestly1263You are right about spastic dipledgia & SDR - For children ambulatory or not it changes lives. For adults you have to be able to walk unassisted in all areas. I have friends I grew up with that had SDR as adults and it changed their lives. Both have spastic dipledgia but I do know that Hemis have had it too. It's odd that a doctor would do SDR on a quad it typically doesn't last for them or go well. Be careful which doc you choose if you decide that route.

Thank you!

Thank you for the advise

Thank you! Happy Holidays

Thank you!

It was a lot of fun. It was a little tricky to turn, though. I think we need to adjust something. :)

The Rig is so much fun. Can't wait to try it out in the mountains and even in the snow.

Love your support Heather :)
