Do you remember Shostakovich and his works around the time when he was composing them? He's my favorite composer.

I ambulated normally up until my surgery in February of 2015. Then, I walked with a cane and later a walker as another tethering caused me to digress again. I don't think I will ever actually walk again, and honestly it doesn't bother me. I've felt way more freedom in my wheelchair because my arms are pretty strong (carrying my around all day) and won't give out on my or tire easily like my legs have in the past. I can walk with a walker using special bracing and using my hips to move, but not very far. As for college, I plan on going to a University if Texas campus and later going to medical school to become a pediatric neurologist :)

Well, a lot of "teenager-y" activities require some extra thought. I can't just go out exploring places without having to consider the accessibility of all of it. The old other thing that really gets in the way is when I have surgery I have a lot of time and physical limitations. Otherwise, I feel pretty normal. Schoolwork and AP classes are my true limitations.

Hey! I was around three years old, and all I thought about was how scary the MRI looked. I've actually been quite interested in them my entire life, so I think they're pretty fun to learn and talk about.

I sometimes experience some stiffness and discomfort from sitting and such due to my abnormal posture, but most of my pain comes from my screwy nerves. I am currently on muscle relaxers and neuropathy meds, and when it gets really bad after surgeries I am put on opioids and all types of crap (which doesn't really ever put a dent in it). Otherwise, I just take the normal ibuprofen or aspirin. My pain tolerance is really high, so ignoring pain is also really easy for me.
