After years of procrastination, finally, I was able to create an account and a post on nairaland. So we(those with special needs) could share as well learn from one another.


Most people who finds themselves challenged with disability, only gets to move on with life when it's too late. And that's where some family members fail to Preplan.



One of the things I have learnt for years is never to wait until it's too late to move on with life. I know someone might like to ask "how can I move on with this condition?" well, I vividly understand your fears, but you don't need to start big; you can start by doing those things in your home with no assistance from anyone.

It could be changing of bed sheet, sweeping you room, bathing yourself, even cooking, driving et al. before you know it, you are already thinking of either going back to school, learning a trade, or working in a company.



Being physically challenged in any part of your body, doesn't mean other functional part are not useful. Until you start to engage that active part of your body, you will never know what you are capable of. But be always cautious so you don't over indulge nor do it to impress anyone or compete with anyone.



Take note, if you are physically challenged, person with disability or someone with special needs, what ever you choose to call it. you are not in this alone.



Always remember you have your fellow brothers and sisters on this platform, you can lean your shoulders on and be accepted with unconditional love the way you are.

If doctors have said that it is still possible to walk again I believe it. At the back of my mind is the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hbot. Please do some research and see how people with paralysis have been benefiting. If necessary we can send you links to read.
We don't know your story; it will throw light on the possibility of having some improvement with hbot. Without surgical intervention hbot is the most appropriate therapy one can think of. Let's hear the story so that we can detemine if hbot can help. Never lose hope.
