Independence & SMA

What would complete and total independence look like for you? How would you describe it? Do you have small every day wins that help you feel independent?

  1. To define independence would be to move around independently without assistance from anyone. I am really creative may be "Invent gravity neutralizer"? just kidding.

    1. Wouldn't that be something! Thanks for joining this conversation. What kind of SMA do you have and when were you diagnosed? Best, Abby (Team Member).

  2. Complete and total independence for me would be being able to be left alone for more than a few hours and fully be able to cook or prepare myself a meal and drink. I wouldn’t have to rely on someone for my basic necessities. But that’s only a version of my independence with SMA in mind. -Jennifer SpinalMuscularAtrophy.net Team Member
