Suck it up, sailor
19 MayI’ve been working on strengthening my arms, but what about other body parts kama like my lungs? Recently I discovered and purchased a device called the Power Breathe
this device provides resistance when you breathe in. Over the period of a month, those breathing muscles should get stronger. Because of the level of my injury, I have some impairment in innervation or even lack of some of the breathing muscles. It will be an interesting experiment to see how much progress I can make.
Right now my lung capacity is about 2.2 liters. What’s yours?

Adventure for all
19 MayRecently I watched the trailer for an Australian movie titled the ride call meh about a group of paraplegics set aside across the country. The Website for the movie has more information on the project.
Or you can Watch the movie on YouTube.
After watching the trailer, I had a bit of a revelation: adventure is available to anyone no matter her level of ability or disability. Just pick something a little beyond your current capabilities, plan and prepare, then go for it.!
What adventure do you have planned for this year?h

What makes us happy?
17 MayA series of speakers at the TED conference have examined the nature of happiness. Dan Gilbert, the first speaker in the selection of talks listed below, discovered a surprising fact: people who have won the lottery, and people who suffered a paraplegic spinal cord injury, are equally happy six months after the event!
Dental floss
13 MayHere’s another one of those small things that make a big difference. Yesterday, I flossed my teeth for the first time in 18 months. I did it with a help of a floss holding tool that Julie Muller bought for me. Finally I can floss my teeth exactly the way I want to, and not miss any spots.
