Hello

corinne1276, hi. Funny you should mention that. I have one parcel delivery man who is always particularly helpful. He knocks and waits for me to roll to the door. Then hands me my parcel. I told him that Covid hasn't changed my life at all,... that people have socially distanced from me for years.

Good for you for becoming a lawyer. Did you get your degree while in your paralyzed state? I'm a paralegal. I got it 5 years before my accident. I have the degree, but only did reception work with it at a lawfirm. I think my area was glutted with paralegals,... from the local community colleges. And unless your looked like Farrah Fawcett of Charlie's angels, the interviews were over very quickly,... embarrassingly quickly. Okay. The lawyer walked out of his office from the door one one side of reception, around reception and me, and then back into the office area through the door on the other side of reception. A minute later, the temp receptionist answered her phone, and told me "thank you" for applying and they would keep my resume on file. Then she flashed me a smile and bounced her Farrah Fawcett curls of hair. I don't think she was going to be a "temp" very much longer.

I can use my upper body. I cook. It takes a long time to do it, but I cook. I pay a neighbor to bring my groceries. And she takes out my trash on our trash days. I sure hope she and her family never move away.

corinne1276,
I have an idea for you. People with YouTube channels need moderators. Some of the channel owners pay for this service. I found a channel I like and volunteered to do the job for free. Actually, I sometimes have so much pain that I can't work at all. So, being a non-paid volunteer, where I'm only providing a "support" service is the right job for me. What happens is that you come to "know" some of the subscribers who post frequently. It gives me always something useful to do. If I have time, and know the answers, I answer some of the questions that people ask about the videos.

Of course, for this to be a pleasant passtime, you would need to find a YouTube channel that you "believe in". You don't want to be stuck reading posts that don't interest you at all. If you post a comment under a YouTube that you like, offering your help as a moderator, you'll probably get a grateful reply.

T5 complete newly injured. No feeling or movement from below my breast down. I also am dealing with some depression. Hoping to meet others and maybe get through this with some help. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Elizabeth.

This week, I invested $30 in a chromatic harmonica. Hands work - check! Lungs work -check! Eyes work (for reading musical score) -check! This is something I can still learn to do!
