Any suggestion on advocacy programs? I am in the Midwest if that helps.

I know that this depends on specific impairments, but have you found ways to do things you enjoy? This is the hardest thing for me right now: I don’t want to spend the rest of my life watching TV.

I do creative things I enjoy but I am unable to be really be physically active. I'm not really adjusted to the situation regardless, so I hope it changes for the better in the future but for now it is a plight.

Maybe you want to pursue a creative endeavor. Piano, art, and game development (albeit at a very slow pace and intermittently) have been helpful for me.
