In July, my mom, my Auntie Amy, and I loaded up our giant, red wheelchair van and drove all the way to Florida. Eleven hundred miles! I was going down for a week of therapy with an SCI guru named Ken Bryant (and a little fun, too). It was a long, hot drive, but totally worth it to relax on gorgeous Clearwater Beach and float in a pool a year after my SCI. (Check out the picture below of me in a super stylish beach wheelchair). In mid-October, my mom and I embarked on our second major road trip since I’ve been in a wheelchair. This time we went somewhere not quite as warm as we headed off to see my best friend, Erin, in Chicago!
Working out in the morning
And beaching it in the afternoon!
