My name is Sabrina and I blog over at
Cattails + Cardigans (http://www.sabrinadellinger.blogspot.com). I stumbled across this blog while taking a look at the
Big Blog Exchange website + voting for his blog to get the chance to win (and
you should too!) Glen + I have something in common, both being in a wheelchair
and I thought it would be awesome to hear his story.
Being a reader of this blog- you know Glen's story + why he is in a chair. However, we both have totally different stories. I was injured in a car wreck last June. I rolled my 2001 blazer while heading to work. The impact broke my back and caused spinal cord damage, instantly paralyzing me from about my hips down. I had back surgery to repair my back + place rods in my back. The doctors told my parents that my chances of walking again are slim- but because I am young, it could happen. I've always been a fighter + I refuse to just give up because the odds are against me. I mean- I shouldn't have lived through my car wreck + if not walking is the worst that's going to come from it- I think I'm pretty lucky.
Since my wreck, I've learned a lot of
things + that's what my blog is about. I write mostly about my daily life + I just
started a new series tackling any questions/concerns I get from people on a
regular basis called ‘Paralyzed Diaries’ (hwttp://sabrinadellinger.blogspot.com/2013/03/paralyzed-diaries-001.html#uds-search-results). I enjoy sharing my stories with others in the hope that I can help
someone else out there that are in similar place as me. I know how scary it was
for me at first + I had so many questions I wanted answers to so I reached out
to people online + have met some amazing friends through it all.
I hope that you take the time to stop by
my blog + take a peep around. I would love to talk to all of you and meet some
new amazing friends. I'm currently hosting a giveaway on the blog for some free ad space, some hair ties + a 30$ amazon gift card until April 15, 2013.

It’s obvious from reading this post that Sabrina is
an amazing person and her blog is definitely worth a read. I did a guest post
yesterday, introducing myself to her readers and explaining why I have
tremendous respect for all she does (http://sabrinadellinger.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/paralyzed-diaries-meet-wheelchair-boy.html).
Hopefully this will be the first entry of many into
the guestbook. Just E-Mail goonerglen1@gmail.com
if you’re interested. Being in a wheelchair isn’t a stipulation so don’t be put
off. You could write about things you’ve learnt from this blog or maybe someone
you know is disabled. Perhaps, you have a rather different perspective on life
and want a platform to air your musings. As long as it’s thought provoking (even
though not all of mine are), I’ll publish it.
Bye for now!
