@jomariemlawrence: Replying to @melissagoldberg59 as soon as I got home, my dad helped build a standing frame for me to use. At first, I was barely able to tolerate 10 minutes, But I forced myself to stand in that standing frame every single day. I did PT, Pilates I stood in pools, and eventually, I was strong enough and gained enough return where I was able to stand unassisted. I want to say it took about a year to a year and a half after my spinal cord injury and even now 6 1/2 years later, I’ve gained strength in standing. I’m still a full-time Wheelchair user and my upper body strength is not as good as my lower, but I’m very proud of the hard work that I put in and where I am now. #disabilitytiktok #spinalcordinjury #spinalcordinjuryrecovery #spinalcordinjuryawarenessmonth
