Insight

Brianna Walker was 23 when she fell asleep at the wheel of her car on a highway in Orange County, California. She ended up in a wheelchair but does not let that stop her.

She has become a spokesmodel for Overstock.com along with a number of other companies and foundations. She travels the world and competes in triathelons along the way.

On her blog, she recounts one particularly eventful radio interview that I think really gives some insight into the world of the extraordinary individuals that are wc bound.

Teaser:

I went into the office and I couldn't find a phone. I raced into the bedrooms of my brother and mom but both of their phones were in a part of the room I physically couldn't get to. I rushed back into the office knowing there was a phone in there and I had to find it. Mind you that I am pushing my wheelchair through the house with one hand and holding the phone in the other. I am banging into every wall, every door way and knocking stuff over. I am starting to sweat and most likely wasn't making any sense in my answers. I scanned the office very carefully once again and saw the phone behind some hanging file folders on the desk. I rushed over. I reach for the phone on the desk but it was too far for my reach. I reached again and then I heard the click. I lost the call!!! I screamed "NOOOOOOO!!!" In desperation I launched my entire body for the phone again and all in one motion I hit the phone with my fingers and then I fell to the floor.
