Hi, Mason. It's great to see you doing so well. You seem to have something a little different than the average individual, that something that implements change. When this happened to you, it would just be a matter of the component called "time" that would stand in your way of making great strides forward for those in this same situation. You have a Spirit that motivates, which is a must for those who experience such monumental life-changing experiences. Thanks for your channel and all the helpful information. God bless you! ❤

Are you getting a standing wheelchair or a standing frame? If you're getting a standing wheelchair, you would already be in the wheelchair and wouldn't need to transfer.

I haven't really been doing a lot except for volunteering at a local senior activity center twice a week and going to the gym twice a week since late August. On December the 5th, I had my 90 day evaluation done. I lost over 3 inches in my waist and doubled my strength according to the gym's Facebook post about me around Christmas time. However my personal trainer said that my body fat percentage went down 0.55% my chest went from 38in to 35in, my waist went down 1.5in from 40.5in to 39in, and my shoulders went from 42in to 39.5in. I also tried rock climbing again for the first time in probably 4 years, and to help with getting in better shape, both mom and dad got me workout equipment to use at home in addition to going to the gym 🙂

Chris Young's voice to me has always sounded like a unique mix of twang, deepness, and raspiness/grit. Its interesting to see the new country artists popping up but the industry is going more and more pop which really sucks. I checked out the website for the shoes but they're sold out in most sizes 😂😭 School should never just be about memorization. It should be about creating discussions. Sounds like a pretty decent school! The cabin interview is so cool! That's the kind of advocacy and real life change society needs!
@masonx54 6 ай бұрын
Yeah, his voice has a unique characteristic to it and is easily identifiable. Yeah, I'm not a fan of pop country, but I'm sure that opens up their music to a larger audience, resulting in more money. Yeah, they are supposed to be getting the sizes restocked this month, I believe, because they were out of my size, and I asked them. I signed up to get notified when my size would be back in stock, and it was before the date they gave me. So, if you are interested in getting a pair, sign up to get notified. I hate school, but I enjoy learning; there's a big difference. I love doing those kind of interviews.

I like the Camo shoes a lot. I always get Shoes a size bigger and I have Under Armour Football Shoes because they had Velcro straps across the front and easier to get on and off. I do not know how they feel on and fit but it is more important how they can be put on me. So I need to find shoes that I like but they have things like the Velcro Straps. The only problem is when you wear a bigger size you need to order them because they don't have anything like this in Stores.
