Quinn Brett Instagram – That stoic look when you wonder if you just pooped yourself? 😏
Ah. #spinalcordinjury — Reminder this injury requires all sorts of fun, extra-curricular time, mind and life management.
I was recently asked, while sorting a new job prospect that it “seems contradictory that I can travel but am requesting to work remotely.” (To rarely be at an office.)
For me, working in an office is a 4hr drive with continuous sitting through the day with reduced body -life- maintenance. At home I can stand in my standing desk, lay on my belly, have time for a swim or bike ride and easily manage the unexpected flames SCI body throws at me. Sure equivalently we all deal. An SCI = slower time-wise, not efficient but also more consequential—- life threatening NO JOKE
I reduce anxiety when traveling on a plane, by donning @pullups. 💃🏼. I also have a hard time managing my luggage. Usually a size-able duffel on my lap filled with clothing, bathroom supplies. #peesticks (8-10 per day) #toiletcushion #babywipes #whateverelse Hanging off the back of me is another reusable grocery bag with my purse, easy access pee sticks for the day, extra random snacks, computers etc. Checking luggage is 😳if the pee sticks don’t arrive, I don’t pee!!! And breaking and regulations of mobility devices, #wheelchairs or #handcycles is very real.
Driving is just easier. I can bring my hand cycle without #airlinewoes I can pack all the bathroom supplies, be contained #peeonmyownaccord #manage AND I can then post up for longer in these beautiful places, visit friends and sites in the evening. Overall, taking care of the disabled mind and body #pressuresores #anxiety ——while taking care of the baseline Quinn mind and body, I work more productively.
