First Year of Being Paralyzed

in Quadriplegic
Hey everyone,
I am starting a new podcast series on my YouTube channel and I was asked by some of my followers what is something I wish people told me the first year I was paralyzed. What are some tips or ticks I wished I had the first year of having my accident.
I really liked this question and thought I would ask it on here and see what you all have to say. I know there will be some similar and very different answers and thought it would be a good idea to talk about
For me, I wish I would have been told the impact it would have on my social life and friends. I was a very social teenager before my accident happened and I still am. I lost a good amount of friends and I am grateful for my accident showing me who my real friends were, but I it was really hard on me watching all of my friends having fun, going to parties, school dances, and other events without me in high school. That really affected me the most...

Going off yours because its really good, I wish that someone would've told me that some of the people who you think are your friends will stop coming around. Another way to put it is you'll find out who your real friends are.
Something else I wish I'd known is nothing happens on schedule anymore. You have to plan everything in advance have to give things you expect in a couple days, either a few more days or even weeks of grace period. (I wish this was an exaggeration)
