In today’s vlog, I share about one of the greatest challenges of being a wheelchair user - and that’s dealing with pressure wounds and skin breakdown. There are some definite challenges with having a spinal cord injury, and taking care of my skin is one of them.
Watch to learn what a skin wound is, why it needs to be taken seriously, and how it’s treated. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

The skin breakdown struggle is so real—my uncle dealt with pressure wounds after his hip surgery and it was a constant battle. I ended up down a random rabbit hole the other night and somehow landed on rush line, which is basically the opposite of serious medical research but hey, sometimes you need a dumb distraction.
the video raises awareness about the importance of daily skin care, regular pressure relief, Geometry Dash and early intervention to maintain health, independence, and quality of life for wheelchair users.
