I have many supporters in my life. My daughter, parents, brother, and close friend have all been big supporters to me. My daugher helps me out around the house and she sometimes run errands for me. My parents still give me advice about issues when I need it, plus more. My mother is also the person who listens to me when I need to vent. My brother and father helps me with my car when it needs minor work. My close friend does yard work and is there for me through good and bad times. All of these people do so much more, and without them I don't know how I would make it.
My car is a big support, without it I couldn't get to work, run errands, or go anywhere for pleasure. My computer and cell phone are also big supports. Without them I could not do homework or communicate with others. I also need my phone in case of an emergency when I'm on the road.
If I was paralyzed I couldn't drive, work, or attend school. If my supporters were not around anymore, it would be difficult to function on a daily basis. I wouldn't want to feel like a burden to any of them, but I know they would help me. Paralysis limits many things a person could do. I would not be able to bath, dress myself, play with my granddaughter, or enjoy everyday life. I can't imagine not being able to do the things I do now.
