Ask a paraplegic girl.

Considering none of you seem to believe I am a real person and think I am an internet troll by the same identity as this ‘Umkay’, I may as well take advantage of the situation, I am going to let you low lifes build a picture of my life in the same mundane fashion as in the 20 pages of Umkay threads.

Go on ask away, but I won’t answer if the questions are too personal.

What aspect of being paraplegic is the hardest to deal with?

Do you ever just get used to it, and not miss being as mobile as people who aren’t?

What things can’t you do? I know with elevators and ramps, people can go up stairs. And I assume with enough upper body strength a person can keep up for miles (probably going longer than many walkers). What limitations do you face that you can’t overcome due to the disability?

What is your real name?

What city do you live in?

What is your favourite colour?

Probably the hardest thing to deal with is peoples attitude towards it. I don’t think you can ever get used to it completely, and yes I miss being mobile. Other than stairs I can do pretty much anything an able bodied person can do, it just takes longer to get ready in the morning.

Wow, an 18 year old with no internet presence under her real name? I’m impressed (if it’s true).

How did you become a paraplegic?

You know, I can’t think of a better way to prevent people from mentally associating you with umkay than by repeatedly trumpeting in every thread “I’M NOT UMKAY!! WHY DO YOU THINK I’M UMKAY??!”

I can think of much better ways to introduce yourself then calling all of the board members “low lifes” -

Anyone else stunned by the coincidence to Ambialid’s real name? Not that I’m doubting it, per se, but its quite a coincidence.

Where were you born?

What is the secret paraplegic handshake and password?

Jk. How did you become a paraplegic?

Jaime McGarry, our resident paraplegic. Yeah, I’m calling BS now (not on you Ambivalid).

We have a new paraplegic that has a username oddly similar to an old troll (umkay/jaymac, well, kinda close) and a “real” name that’s extremely close to another paraplegic’s name. Sorry, that’s too much. Pics or it didn’t happen.

Why do you think that we think you are Umkay?

But I’m only taking the piss.

Jaymie is my real name, very unusual spelling. I shorten it to something not really very similar at all.

So you’re into drunks? :stuck_out_tongue:

I was on a boat which turned suddenly, I fell backwards onto the edge and bruised my spinal cord before falling into the water.

What is his real name?

You have to earn that right.
