I’m a quadriplegic.

Breakthroughs like Neuralink give hope for the future.

But millions of us are living in the years before cures arrive.

There’s an opportunity to improve life now using technology we already understand.

Working on getting a new wheelchair that will help me stand more regularly on a daily basis. I'm trying to raise the funds to afford the standing feature by selling some of my photography. Please see my Etsy store if interested. https://t.co/EenuaYu4Hu #artforsale #floridalife

Feb 19 stood 7 minutes. Feb 22 took 3 really good steps and stood 16 minutes. Days that I don't stand with the walker I usually use the standing frame for 30 minutes. Feb 17 I started doing leg stretches and leg presses from wheelchair + core work, goal:45 days Day 8 #quadianlog

[Ian @abacoian]

A good routine of at-home therapy today that I hope to continue in, consistency is difficult for me in this area but so important. I finished the day off with standing, 15 minutes! #sci #quadriplegic #motivation #quadianlog

Yesterday after the chiropractor I tried standing and it didn't happen, too many leg spasms. Tried again tonight and stood for 8 minutes, I'll take it! #sci #motivation #quadriplegic #quadianlog
