“SPENDING A YEAR IN BED:
New YouTube Video Out — Quirky Quad “Shower Talk with Ali” — UNCENSORED!
I bet you don’t know a lot of people that have spent a year in bed. Why would you? This is definitely not normal.

Living with a spinal cord injury as a quadriplegic is no joke. Death is quite literally around every corner every day of the year. Food for thought when you think about perspective in life.
