Debbie Kay

My name is Debbie I live in Knoxville, TN and I'm having my surgery on April 16
I'm getting a little scared. I've also been a paraplegic for 17 years due to a car wreck, & 17 years of weight gain is what got me here.. Other than being wheelchair bound I'm in pretty good health.. But I do hope to get around better.. It gets hard pushing this chair with extra weight!!
I need all the info I can get.. So I've been looking around the internet and found ya'll. I maybe back with some crazy questions.. Thanks for hearing me out..

Welcome and everyone is right...There's no such thing as a crazy question. I've certainly asked some silly ones over the past few months!
