    I am jealous that you figured out a way to mow. That is something I really miss doing. I'm glad there are people like yourself on TH-cam that I can see when I'm having a down day.

    Thanks Brian for sharing, I had a stroke in 2015 at 45 years old, I live with my dad that is 81, he gets around great at the moment but with me being paralyzed on my left side and my dad having the same mower as you that’s still red, I May modify it someday since I have no push power in my left foot and no left hand use, so that I can mow for him. Have a good day, and God Bless you brother.

    You go man 😎 you are an inspiration for people to follow. That goes to show you how determined you are. Me and my husband are both physically handicap from accidents when we were very young. My husband has his right arm amputee from his childhood injury and I myself had a stroke from closed-head injury from car accident. Just like you we do not let our injuries stop us from living a healthy full life. People are so amazed at what we can do and I can tell folks are amazed at what you can do. Life goes on and you can't let life beat you up! I am so, proud of you and missed your videos...you been gone for awhile. Take care and keep those videos coming. 😎👍👍👍

    hi Brian,
    I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I had back surgery (May 29) and developed a blood clot (May 31) at T-9 and I lost feeling in my legs. I am slowly getting feeling back and I am now just starting to be able to walk some with the help of a walker.
    I found your videos and I decided that you are able to do all you do I would do what I can do to get where I need to be. Or if I was going to be paralyzed I was going to be ok with it and will make the best of it.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS.
    You are a great role model.

    We seem to have the same injury level.
    I found this channel searching for a rider that would be a good fit for me. Unfortunately, I have 5.5 acres (I only mow 4) and I don't think that particular mower would work for me, although I came away with some great tips.
    My zero turn doesn't have anything to grab onto, like arm rests, for safe transfer and I struggle with overcoming the additional seat height with my Roho.
    I have to use a slide board to span the mowing deck, which is do-able, but a bit spooky without a spotter, to tell you the truth.
    Thank you for sharing your accomplishments.
    I'm glad I landed here. 😊

    I know how you feel about not being able to mow. I wasn't ablt to mow for the first three years we were married before I got a mower I could use. Man I don't know how you don't fall over the back of that tiny seat. I had a larger seat put on mine for more back support. T5, and I have no trunk or back support at all. I enjoy all your videos and I've thought about uploading some of my own. I know new people in chairs like to see a bunch of different perspectives to get ideas for themselves, at least that's the way I am. Keep up the good work!

    Wow brian you are doing it so great. I cant imagine how much energy you need to be every time more than once day to take youre legs and put them in the position you need them to be. Shower, tranfers, putting cloths on, in the car, out the car, in bed, out bed. And every single time you need to lift them and put them in the right position. You must be really tired every evening. Its no choice and if i ever have bad luck i must deal with it but seeing youre lovely video's i think i could do it. Practice or not but even psychological its really heavy and than comes the physical part. It seems to me its not easy. But heey luckely you live. Love sabrina

    • @Wavewolfaroha
      @Wavewolfaroha 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good that your neuro pain is limited! My injury is T9 incomplete, and the neuro pain is 24/7, not easily managed. But even if you don't feel injury, do take good care of your legs so you don'[t have problems as you age. Keeping muscles, tendons, and ligaments stretched out and limber is important, and also care of skin and avoidance of impact injuries (bruising).

    Hey Brian. I found your channel yesterday looking into the Freedom Chair by GRIT. I am 29 and was born with Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy. Though I have more use of my body then a quad or paraplegic I spend 90% of my time in a manual wheelchair raising two girls. Seeing everything you’ve accomplished gives me hope and strength to be more active and involved with my girls. I am starting a gofundme for the Freedom Chair and will hopefully be on my way to “freedom” soon. Thanks for all your videos. You are truly inspiring. And congratulations on starting a family of your own. So much love your way xo

      Yes, I've ridden several different quads since my injury and YES, you definitely need some foot straps.

      This is a Craftsman 30” mower that was also made by Murray. It is an old 2005 model that I bought used on Craigslist for $300. They still exist but since it’s so old it may be hard to find. I suggest finding a mower with a hydrostatic transmission rather than typical 5-6 speeds since it does not utilize a pedal for the clutch and all speed changes can be done by hand only.

      I always make sure I have plenty of gas before I mow just to be safe. The tank is pretty large too so I haven’t had to find out. I also keep my phone on me at all times in case I have to call for backup. I appreciate the comment!

    I guess you don’t use a grass catcher. How would you empty it if you did?

    How did you modify your mower, did you have someone do it for you? Did the forward/reverse get modified or did it come like that?

      @ParalyzedLiving  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It has a “hydrostatic” transmission which was completely hand operated originally. I just made the other mods myself.

    Hi Brian. I'm a paraplegic myself, I was born with a condition called Spina Bifida, which is Latin for "Split Spine" and I recently underwent surgery in the United Kingdom. How did you sustain your spinal injury?
