Scha-wing

For real, guys - DO IT

It’s not exactly the same but a pretty accurate example of what it feels like to be me 🤗 (at least one small part of it).

It’s always so hard to describe when people ask what it feels like to be paralyzed. No, its not the same sensation as when your foot falls asleep. It’s really unlike anything else I’ve felt so it’s difficult to explain. Trying this little finger exercise is actually kind of cool because it’s a decent simulation.

I guess in the big scheme of things it’s fun to have something that not many people get to have. I mean, the wheelchair can suck it, but the mixed sensations can be fun if I had to choose a positive here.

My injury basically runs just above my waistline. For me, there is a blurry kind of transitional area between where I have feeling and where I “don’t”. I put the word ‘don’t’ in quotes because technically I do not have feeling but I also do in a weird way. I’ve explained this before but for those who are new here, I’ve described it as feeling the layers below the skin. I don’t necessarily feel on the surface but I do feel the sensation of being touched underneath. I know, it’s weird, but that’s the best way I can think of to interpret it.

The space where my sensations changes is extra sensitive. This gives me an additional erogeonous zone. You know that feeling you experience when someone sensually kisses your neck? Same deal - well, kind of. It’s not necessarily a ‘private part’ or sexual area of the body but when it’s approached in a certain way - scha-wing. Go ahead, ladies, be jealous. 😜

This is also one of the many things that makes my body different. Let’s be honest though - isn’t every BODY a little different? I mean, the basics are the same, but every individual has their ‘thang’. Any time you are lucky enough to get to know a body in an intimate way, some fine tuning is necessary to fit that body’s specific needs. We are all unique in our feelings and things that drive us wild.

So, ring fingers out. See what you think. Thanks for taking a second to check out my world ✌🏼
