Adapted Bowling

This past weekend I got to go bowling! Turns out they have a metal slide that little kids and handicapped folks can use! You may have already known that but I didn't until a friend told me. It was very easy to use and I was able to move it around easily. 
 
My parents set the ball on top, then I pushed it down as hard as I could

I took my good friend Aaron with me. He is on the Special Olympics bowling team....yes, he beat me!



Once in awhile he used the slide too!



Bowling was A LOT of fun! This wont be the last time I go!

I WENT SURFING I REPEAT I WENT SURFING want proof?  boom. proof. and I didn't just go once, I went TWICE (insert surprised face emoji) It wasn't easy though! Not only did it take a lot of help (7-8 people), it was really hard keeping my head and chest up. C5-C6 SCI (my injury level) effects your trunk muscles and arm muscles. This makes laying on my belly and holding my head up very difficult. Keeping my elbows tucked under my shoulders helps, but with the regular long board, my elbows kept sliding out! Sooooo for the second night of surfing my brother fixed the board accordingly. He pulled a Red Green move and used duct tape  (if you've never seen that show then i'm sorry- go watch it!!!) The picture above shows pool noodles taped on the sides and the middle. The side noodles stopped my elbows from sliding and the middle section supported my chest. After he was done taping and taping and taping and taping and tapi...

Reddit Famous

There is a first time for everything, and for me, this is the first time I've gone "viral." Somehow my video from 5ish years ago (that I thought I deleted) went viral on reddit. So if you're reading this and from reddit, nice to meet you! I hope the video brightened your day.

I'm Back!

Now that my schedule has settled down and I’m not as busy, I’ve decided to start blogging again!   When I had my accident, my family started a blog called March For Marsh that kept everyone in touch with my recovery.   Now I’ve decided to personally keep you up to date with my life, therapy, and my road to independence. If you don’t know my story, I will give you a quick summary, but If you want to learn more you can visit my old blog www.marchformarsh.blogspot.com . Exactly 2 years ago, on May 21 st , 2012, I was involved in an automobile accident with 3 other friends.     I was the only one that sustained permanent injuries.   I broke my fifth cervical vertebrae which pinched my spinal cord against my sixth cervical vertebrae.   I had to undergo an 11 hour surgery to reconstruct my neck. They fused the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae together using titanium rods and plates and a cadaver bone. After the surgery, the rest was up t...
