Most paraplegics should stand daily if at all possible. Rand Scot builds and sells The Personal Folding Stander which addresses this need. It is engineered for our customers who can pull themselves upright. It's affordable, light weight and folds for easy storage and transport. I also live with a sleep disorder, chronic pain, and clinical depression.
Life is fully enjoyable when suffering a spinal cord injury.
I'm only 16, never got to drive, never had a sexual experience, and I haven't done a crap load of the things I've wanted to. I don't worry about the stuff I can't do any longer but the stuff I can. I've been a paraplegic disabled person since birth. Due to the circumstances in my own country, at that time under heavy Communist rule, I did not have a wheelchair until 16 years old. My parents were not wealthy and thus, after my father died, I was sent to a disabled children hospital.
