Dude, I have so much respect for you. That was incredible and you are an inspiration to other people no matter what issue they are dealing with. You are probably sick of hearing people say stuff like that but I hope you realize how important this video is and I just want to thank you.
Wow, thank you for sharing this comment! I don't try to be an inspiration but I do enjoy helping people. Life is all about perspective and even with my injury I sympathize for people who have it worse than me. Thanks for sharing the love!
Just wanted to let you know that we shared your video in our nursing class today and it was most instructive. Our professor was fascinated by you and so were we. Your self reliance and your will to live as normal a life as possible as well as your generosity sharing your challenges is most admirable. Thank you so much!
I'm a Grad. OT student and we use your video to learn - I learned much more than the mechanics- you're attitude says it all - you're an inspiration - keep making more!
Watching this I feel so stupid. "How do paralyzed people get dressed on their own..." THEY ARE CREATIVE! This is just so clever, and of course you find your own way. Just like the rest of us find our own way doing everyday chores. It was cool to watch, thank you for giving insight to an everyday that's different than mine !
I truly believe it's just the matter of time when there will be a surgery to restore paralyzed to before paralyzed. Hang in there. You are an inspiration to watch.
There is recent research on stem cells used to regrow severed spines. In rats at the moment, but more than half the rats regained walking! Hopefully soon in people!
Stem cells are the key. Those cells are regeneration cells, they can regenerate dead/destroyed cells wherever the stem cells are put. Unfortunately that method is still kinda new so it is not still used in general medical procedures. Stem cells at the moment are just used on facial cosmetology as anti ageing procedure.
@@mariadelacruz1153 stem cells really are the incredibly powerful. Soon infertile and gay couples can have their own kids by treating somatic cells to revert back into stem cells and then into germ cells. Then theres the whole idea of growing organs using your own cells using stem cells. They really are amazing. Cant wait to see the progress scientists make!
I've wondered, if you can't feel or use your legs, why not just get them amputated? Correct me if I am wrong but aren't they more or less a burden right now?
I looked up this video as part of research for a story I'm writing. I didn't expect to be in tears. I know this video is mostly for people who have paralysis or mobility problems, but it is very instructive, humbling, and eye-opening for me (a non-disabled person) to see this intimate process, which opens up a window on the invisible time and effort that goes into everyday life for folks with mobility issues. You are trying to be of service to fellow parapalegics, but along the way, you have really served other kinds of people as well. I wish you good health and every success. Thank you and blessings to you.
It takes so much to even build one layer of muscle. I advise eat as much as you can to gain fat, and start walking to get muscles in your main arteries to make it easier, then routine workouts.
It's nice you can do these things on your own. I'm sure that's empowering and you look so confident doing it all. Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us all on RUclips. You may not have upper core strength but you have internal and mental strength. That's extremely key to living a full life. Take care.
You are amazing, my left hand is clamped shut due to severe muscle spasms from having RSD. I cannot use my left hand at all. I find your strength and optimistic nature inspiring.
When I came out of the orphanage my brother and I were both without stimulation and muscles development meaning we couldn't move from the neck down and my tongue was just hanging out of my mouth. It took years of physical therapy to reverse those effects It's not the same in the slightest. . Im 24 now and I'm lucky today but man you are such an inspiration to everyone . its really nice in these times to see good wholesome content . The fact ur cute doesn't hurt . But refreshing to see someone working hard to inspire take nothing for granted and show the raw parts of their life . 💯✌❤ Hopefully you continue to make content
I love that you put these videos out here for those of us that are just learning about how to deal with family members going through being paralyzed. You are strong and have such a great attitude. You and your family have overcome a lot, as well come up with great tips for others. THANKS!!
Kaptain Insano seriously hope restorative surgeries like that come asap. Totally unfair for people to lose mobility like that. Good to see all of you staying strong. Gives everyone else a kind of hope, if you can do your day to day I should be running marathons. Y’all are inspirational for sure
Hi Brian, I am very sorry to hear about your injuries and accidents. Hope you are O.K. God bless you man!!! Stay strong!!! Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
What a great video to show others the things you need to do day in and day out. It inspires me to get moving when I don't feel like I want to and I have feeling in my entire body. Thank you. I wish the best for you in life.
I know so many comments say how good looking you are and are probably overtly sexual, but this is inspirational. Thank you for being you and thank you for giving others the guidance to be themselves.
I don't cry when I watch videos, but yours had me in tears - not because I feel sorry for you, but because you are so determined to be self-sufficient. A lot of men could learn from you, buddy.

a useful video about a real problem, paralyzed since little over a year ago, a little more movability, but paralyzed from the waist down, I took about one hour before getting my trousers on (got it down to 20min before your video, now its 5 minutes thanks to you!) still can't use shoes, but my upper body strength/movability gets better and better, so with a little luck (and lots of training) maybe? this kind of instructions should be obligatory learning for those of us who become handicapped, not having to find out ourselves! thanks!.. David..
Paralyzed Living Thanks, Btw. I finally succeeded in getting my small dog (I bought before getting paralyzed) to here, so now my upper body strength gets steadily improved due to him in need of numerous walks! (OK, rolls for me) Once again, thanks for the video!

Thank you for sharing this video with us. My nephews have muscular dystrophy duchen and the oldest (10 years old) is now in a wheelchair. He's getting pretty heavy for me or my mom to lift for showers and/or changing, so I got on RUclips to see what tips I could find to help my nephew help himself basically. Your video was great!
WOW....you are amazing........i have chronic pain from chemo and some days i can't even get out of bed by myself......thank you for sharing your life with us........peace........
Thank you for taking the time to share this video with us. It is very helpful. I think the secret of it all is to never give up. You are a trooper!. Your video is not only helpful but very inspiring. Thank you!
Thanks! I actually plan to make a workout video but that requires getting back into working out..lol. I am not in the same shape today as I was in this video. I'm still a slim guy but I have a bigger gut now and it drives me nuts.
@@ParalyzedLiving Hi Brian, how are you? Hey! You are in incredible shape for a paraplegic with no core. Could you make a ‘how I workout or diet tips video? Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
My brother was recently in an accident, not necessarily a car accident but he is also paralyzed from the stomach down. Seeing your videos has helped beyond your knowledge, thank you for sharing.
yeah, I'm getting more and more sensation and movement back. just last night, I was able to bend my knee up to my other knee while laying down. progress ☺
Definitely incredible you gotten it down to almost the same time to get ready! I imagine you know how lucky you are you have use of your arms and hands. I've worked in the field of independent living skills with adults with all kinds of "disabilities" and have definitely worked with folks who still need 1 1/2 hours to get ready. It's so amazing to know you are actually the same as every else in that you are doing your best to be as happy as you can be given what you have been given so far in life. As many similarities we have with others, ultimately there are absolutely no 2 people anywhere who are exactly the same. Each of us has a unique story/situation constantly to deal with. Thanks for sharing, it's so great to see all the various ways people learn to adapt given the various situations we can find ourselves in.
Hey I'm a C.N.A I work in a long term care facility im going to show your videos to our RN instructor that teaches our C.N.A class I'm sure they will inspire them the way you have inspired me to help my residents to live as normal a life as possible you are amazing
Not to mention reading these comments how in the world do you go anywhere without being attacked these ladies are into you and it ain't the wheel they are hot after LOL 😃👍👍😉
These guy is a proof that there no thing that will stop you in life. And I not paralyze and you got dress more faster than I do. Good job and your a inspiration that nothing in life is a problem.
You are an inspiration. Thank you for showing us such an intimate part of your day. I’m sure you have touched many mothers lives showing how you are able to accomplish independence throughout your day.
Because of a neurological condition I’ve been unable to move my legs for a lot of the time recently. Your videos have really helped me figure out life, so thank you
This video came up in my timeline. I cried watching. I don't know why. I just did. I have no words to express how proud I am to watch some teaching so many precious lessons so willingly. God bless you!

Today 3-13-18 I saw your video on Getting Dressed. Very good instructional video. After watching it I searched how you became a Paraplegic man. Your narration says it all. Aside from all that has happened its so remarkable how your coping and moving forward with your life. Glad to know your life is going well. I reviewed many of your viewers postings many shared their support and encouragement. Some were a bit bold and suggestive. I too thought that your a handsome man. But, your life is yours to do what you are capable of doing and pursuing. Glad to see that you have found a life partner (wife) and continued work. God Bless you and Thank you for being who you are with such joy for life. Sincerely, a man in Minneapolis, MN .
You are incredible! Talk about never giving up! I have watched a lot of your videos and think that you are such an inspiration for other physically challenged people! I will count my blessings more often and try to be more grateful. By nature we tend to take so much for granted!
Hey Brian. Chadzilla here. I am revisiting your older posts as you were my first mentor after my spinal cord injury. I'm happy to say that I have made tremendous progress. I found great inspiration in this video.
You inspired me to get back soon to my CNA work. I reside in Utah and most of my clients are either paraplegic or quadriplegic. 2 that I worked with, so very fun. You made me realize how much I miss them. Thank you and God bless.
@@ParalyzedLiving Hi Brian, how are you? Serious question here. If you’re paralysed from the chest down, how does your digestive system work? Is that bodily function separate? Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
You are an incredible young man, who absolutely defies any deficits. I wish all physical therapists would insist all there patients watch your video. WoW
You are amazing!!! Many of us can walk and move freely but you can certainly fly!!! You are bigger than your "limitations" in a way that they all dissapear before our eyes. An honor to meet you at least through a video. You just changed my mindset about life and about myself in so many ways... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Paralyzed Living Thank you so much for sharing with us your daily struggles and how you overcome them. It is so empowering to see somebody with such an unbeatable spirit. My best wishes to you and your family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Paralyzed Living respect to you man. Shows what many of us take for granted. Any you still have sense of humor about your own condition. Technology has advanced so much in the last few years you never know. Glad I found this channel
You're an amazing inspiration! I've been 20 years with my sci and am still learning new things. Thanks for being so open and helpful... and especially for your awesome attitude!!! God bless!!!
You know i live with people that have a meltdown over a throw cushion....so draining on the spirit then there is you who is so brave and so amazing, pleasant and such an inspiration. Thank you
I can't even fathom how strong you must be to push through this. Now, I understand you would hate for people to pity you, do understand this is not pity. But instead this is respect that I have for you. You are able to make the worst of things into the best. You set an example. YOU are indeed a lesson to learn from. We CAN do anything. God bless you sir, and god bless the world.
You are amazing! You show you are only handicaped as much as you let yourself be. You are a inspiration showing what you can do instead what you do can't do. Wish you the best in life.
Brian, my admiration for how you have adapted to your life's changes and thankyou for sharing your story; I now have a better appreciation for you and others in your circumstances...best wishes.
@@ParalyzedLiving Hi Brian, how are you? You have no idea how helpful these video are. Thank you for taking your time to help others. I am going to watch your videos. Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
Just found you and even though this is my 1st video I actually watched of yours, I wholeheartedly agree with some of the other viewers, you are SO inspiring, especially to those of us in the SCI family!!! PLUS, you are such a cutie!! Really good looking!! Looking forward to binge watch your other videos!!!! Take care, keep inspiring and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!

Thank you very much for sharing now I have a better understanding on what is a depression transfer and how see that a T1 can be independent in all self-care! that video really helps me as a soon to be Occupational Therapist! Thank you again for sharing and thank you for making a difference in this world! you are an inspiration and will probably use your video for future patients reference. I wish you all the very best of luck!
In the previous vlog: “paraplegic at the pool” (where the comments were shut off), I just wanted to say thank you for your openness and honesty in sharing your life with us. Thank you. Blessings in 2021! 🥳🥳🥳
I'm glad you decided to make this video. You are very handsome. I hope things continue to get easier. You move so well it almost looks like your acting. Good for you.
You are amazing and an inspiration to us all. We should all be as genuinely positive and upbeat as you are. They say you can learn something new everyday, and I did...watching your videos.
This video helped so much! My boyfriend is paralyzed and I was interested in how he got through everything but I didn't want to ask in case he felt uncomfortable. He's paralyzed from the chest, down, too. He got shot in the neck when he was 15 and he is currently 26 now. His fingers are crippled and he has a motorized wheelchair instead of a manual. I'm proud of everyone who is strong like you & my boyfriend. :)
You are so awesome! Thank you for being able to love someone who is paralyzed! I hope one day I find someone who is willing and understanding as you are! Hope you and your bf the best!
This is really inspiring when I start to take for granted the everyday simple things i have !! Which include my health ! thank you sir you are truly strong !!
Trust me. If you are in the beginning, it WILL get easier. I’m independent now even with a 5 year old and can care for her alone. We just went for a bike ride! (Well she did lol)
Thanks for the video! My friend is a C8 incomplete paraplegic and this helped him out because he was having trouble getting dressed when he first became a paraplegic and this video helped him feel more empowered.
Dude, I have so much respect for you. That was incredible and you are an inspiration to other people no matter what issue they are dealing with. You are probably sick of hearing people say stuff like that but I hope you realize how important this video is and I just want to thank you.

I know that took you a lot of work to make it look that good. Good shit your a beast.
You are an inspiration. Thank you for showing us such an intimate part of your day. I’m sure you have touched many mothers lives showing how you are able to accomplish independence throughout your day.
I’m not even paralyzed and I still put my clothes on on the bed🤣🤣🤣
Because of a neurological condition I’ve been unable to move my legs for a lot of the time recently. Your videos have really helped me figure out life, so thank you
Keep doing your best you look amazing 😉❤️
Wow man. You really impress me with your patience and determination ... and it really paid off. Wishing you a great 2020.
Goodness me!!! I searched this video because I broke my leg. Now I see my "hell" will pass away soon. You are great, man. An inspiration! Thanks!
SO much respect
This video came up in my timeline. I cried watching. I don't know why. I just did. I have no words to express how proud I am to watch some teaching so many precious lessons so willingly. God bless you!
Thank you!! I really appreciate it!!
@@ParalyzedLiving Hi Brian, how are you? This video came up in my timeline. I cried when I was watching this video. I don’t know why. I just did. I have to express how proud I am to watch some of your teaching, so many precious lessons of willingly. God bless you! Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
You're pretty jacked tho bro
Today 3-13-18 I saw your video on Getting Dressed. Very good instructional video. After watching it I searched how you became a Paraplegic man. Your narration says it all. Aside from all that has happened its so remarkable how your coping and moving forward with your life. Glad to know your life is going well. I reviewed many of your viewers postings many shared their support and encouragement. Some were a bit bold and suggestive. I too thought that your a handsome man. But, your life is yours to do what you are capable of doing and pursuing. Glad to see that you have found a life partner (wife) and continued work. God Bless you and Thank you for being who you are with such joy for life. Sincerely, a man in Minneapolis, MN .
Thomas Perez thanks for the comment! I’m trying to maintain a happy normal life and feel I love more than most. I would like to keep it that way. 😉
If I was parapalegic I would just be wearing a tshirt with basketball shorts all day. Fuck pants
LOL I'm with you on that one. I wouldn't have the patience to do all that but then again I'm not paralyzed so I can't say for sure.
That's exactly what I do lol
You are incredible! Talk about never giving up! I have watched a lot of your videos and think that you are such an inspiration for other physically challenged people! I will count my blessings more often and try to be more grateful. By nature we tend to take so much for granted!
You are awesome
Hey Brian. Chadzilla here.
I am revisiting your older posts as you were my first mentor after my spinal cord injury. I'm happy to say that I have made tremendous progress. I found great inspiration in this video.
Chad Folkers so glad they helped and you are doing well!! Keep kicking ass brother. 👍🏼
That was so inspiring
And handsome 😋
You inspired me to get back soon to my CNA work. I reside in Utah and most of my clients are either paraplegic or quadriplegic. 2 that I worked with, so very fun. You made me realize how much I miss them. Thank you and God bless.
Serious question here. If you're paralyzed from the chest down, how does your digestive system work? Is that bodily function separate?
Yes, the digestive system is completely separate. I still eat normally.
What abt the dick?
Ok
Alex Jos
Lol
You are BOLD
@@ParalyzedLiving Hi Brian, how are you? Serious question here. If you’re paralysed from the chest down, how does your digestive system work? Is that bodily function separate? Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
You are an incredible young man, who absolutely defies any deficits. I wish all physical therapists would insist all there patients watch your video. WoW
Lots of thirsty women here
SnazzyBoxx They probably don't realize that his dong isn't functional.
Because we are attracted to real men.
Women dont know what they want
ツ wrong.... hes perfect 😊
ツ the finger works fine
You are amazing!!! Many of us can walk and move freely but you can certainly fly!!! You are bigger than your "limitations" in a way that they all dissapear before our eyes. An honor to meet you at least through a video. You just changed my mindset about life and about myself in so many ways... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glenda thanks so much for the kind words. I wish you all the best!!
Paralyzed Living Thank you so much for sharing with us your daily struggles and how you overcome them. It is so empowering to see somebody with such an unbeatable spirit. My best wishes to you and your family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Knees weak, arms are heavy. Legs move like spaghetti
Cazsu you’re going to hell
Cazsu I dont care where hes going that was funny 😂😂😂
Frankie Segura please don't assume you know what I do or do not want, sir.
Hey, I have to admit it was a little funny. lol
Paralyzed Living respect to you man. Shows what many of us take for granted. Any you still have sense of humor about your own condition. Technology has advanced so much in the last few years you never know. Glad I found this channel
I'm impressed with your positive attitude and your independence.
ur so good looking hehe
Very educational. Thanks for taking the time to show us part of your life.
Handsome guy 😍
You're an amazing inspiration! I've been 20 years with my sci and am still learning new things. Thanks for being so open and helpful... and especially for your awesome attitude!!! God bless!!!
You know i live with people that have a meltdown over a throw cushion....so draining on the spirit then there is you who is so brave and so amazing, pleasant and such an inspiration. Thank you
What an amazing service you are providing. Thank you.
I can't even fathom how strong you must be to push through this. Now, I understand you would hate for people to pity you, do understand this is not pity. But instead this is respect that I have for you. You are able to make the worst of things into the best. You set an example. YOU are indeed a lesson to learn from. We CAN do anything. God bless you sir, and god bless the world.
You are amazing! You show you are only handicaped as much as you let yourself be. You are a inspiration showing what you can do instead what you do can't do. Wish you the best in life.
Thank you for offering encouragement to those who may see this and be informed or inform others. Keep moving.
Brian, my admiration for how you have adapted to your life's changes and thankyou for sharing your story; I now have a better appreciation for you and others in your circumstances...best wishes.
You're absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us.
I enjoyed how you were able to explain the steps and reasoning for the step.
You have no idea how helpful these are. Thank you for taking time to help others. I am going to have my husband watch your videos.
So glad they are helpful!
@@ParalyzedLiving Hi Brian, how are you? You have no idea how helpful these video are. Thank you for taking your time to help others. I am going to watch your videos. Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
This is a seriously helpful and encouraging video. Thank you.
Just found you and even though this is my 1st video I actually watched of yours, I wholeheartedly agree with some of the other viewers, you are SO inspiring, especially to those of us in the SCI family!!! PLUS, you are such a cutie!! Really good looking!! Looking forward to binge watch your other videos!!!!
Take care, keep inspiring and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!
Stacie in the Youngstown Ohio area!!!

Thanks Stacie!! Glad you found these! I appreciate the kind words and complement!😊👍🏼I’m in Columbus so hello to a fellow Ohioan!
@@ParalyzedLiving, you are most welcome! Ahh Columbus, you're not too far from me! My Aunt and Uncle live in Westerville so when we get down there we love going to Easton and shopping on Polaris Parkway too!
God Bless you young man, great attitude! Great teaching for someone who recently paralyzed.
Thank you very much for sharing now I have a better understanding on what is a depression transfer and how see that a T1 can be independent in all self-care! that video really helps me as a soon to be Occupational Therapist! Thank you again for sharing and thank you for making a difference in this world! you are an inspiration and will probably use your video for future patients reference. I wish you all the very best of luck!
I think making videos to possibly help other people in your situation is so noble. You are such a great looking guy. ;)
In the previous vlog: “paraplegic at the pool” (where the comments were shut off), I just wanted to say thank you for your openness and honesty in sharing your life with us. Thank you. Blessings in 2021! 🥳🥳🥳
Huh I didn’t realize they were turned off. I’ll have to check that out. And of course! Same to you!
I'm glad you decided to make this video. You are very handsome. I hope things continue to get easier. You move so well it almost looks like your acting. Good for you.
You are an inspiration for your creativity and determination in overcoming difficulties. Your attitude is exemplary and I wish you all the best!
That was so valuable to see as we all have different degrees of mobility issues and how you overcome yours is brilliant. 👍👍
You are amazing and an inspiration to us all. We should all be as genuinely positive and upbeat as you are. They say you can learn something new everyday, and I did...watching your videos.
That’s awesome!! Glad you got something out of them! 👍🏼
This video helped so much! My boyfriend is paralyzed and I was interested in how he got through everything but I didn't want to ask in case he felt uncomfortable. He's paralyzed from the chest, down, too. He got shot in the neck when he was 15 and he is currently 26 now. His fingers are crippled and he has a motorized wheelchair instead of a manual. I'm proud of everyone who is strong like you & my boyfriend. :)
You are so awesome! Thank you for being able to love someone who is paralyzed! I hope one day I find someone who is willing and understanding as you are! Hope you and your bf the best!
This is really inspiring when I start to take for granted the everyday simple things i have !! Which include my health ! thank you sir you are truly strong !!
Wow, for such a devastating injury he moves really well! Awesome!!!
Thank you for sharing this! I am very glad to hear that it gets easier as time goes by. Definitely gives me hope!
Trust me. If you are in the beginning, it WILL get easier. I’m independent now even with a 5 year old and can care for her alone. We just went for a bike ride! (Well she did lol)
Thanks for the video! My friend is a C8 incomplete paraplegic and this helped him out because he was having trouble getting dressed when he first became a paraplegic and this video helped him feel more empowered.
