New Concrete Slab!



 The last few weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions. I received my stem cells last Tuesday and long story short it was a mess, but I ended up getting my cells and was on my way home. After returning home I was greeted by the best possible gift I could have possibly received, a concrete path that would wrap around the house and down to the lake. It came out better than I ever could have imagined and I got all of the additions I wanted and more, a turnaround spot at the bottom of the lake, extra room on the patio in the back of the house, and room for a ramp to the side door into the garage. 


I was so ecstatic about the path that I went up and down it about 10 times. I could even use my electric scooter attachment called the firefly on the path no problem! Though even without the firefly the hills are more than manageable to push up. The Duluth concrete team was the best! they got my path done in a couple weeks and in time for the 4th. 


Even though I was super excited about the path there was still something, the same thing I've been saying I was going to change for the past couple weeks. I am starting to get back to the grind not for anyone else this time, but for myself. the night of the third I had many revelations about just how I should be going about my self improvement journey and like many for me it starts with my personal health. My diet, exercise routine, water intake, sleep schedule, screen time and chair maintenance. Keeping my wheelchair clean and functioning as well as it can. 


I have already started a more suitable approach to reach my goals. First I changed my to do list to daily, weekly, and monthly, making it more manageable and eficient. Second I approached my personal trainer with eating, dietary and upper body exercise goals. Third I reached out to my friend at courage kenny to get me fitted for a hand cycle and discuss other possible adaptive outdoor activities. 


I have been feeling constant fatigue, stiffness and dehydration and am realizing that I need to take care of my body first and foremost to lead a happy and healthy life. 


If you have read to this far I deeply appreciate your support and hope to see you soon.

my life so far

​ My name is mason branstrator and last year January 18, 2021 I was paralyzed from the waist down. After a year of uncertainty, grief and learning more than I could have ever imagined things are finally starting to feel somewhat normal. I have a routine, I have ambitions, I am happy.     I have decided to document my journey for myself and anyone who might benefit, I will be writing a blog once a week for the year 2022. That’s 52 blogs to be exact, starting with this one.  It was a normal day at my go to ski hill, my favorite jumps had just opened up for the season. Just as I was about to take off in a glorious fashion I thought to myself, “dang I’m going a little fast” but this was nothing new. Except this time it was. The next memory I have is waking up in the icu not being able to move my legs and feeling excruciating pain in my back. I had burst my t12 vertebrae, which sent shards of bone into my spinal cord paralyzing me from the waist down.  In this kind of sit...

Friends after spinal cord injury

      When I became a paraplegic the first thing I told my loved ones and friends was “I’m still me”. At the time it was all I wanted anyone to know about my accident, I didn’t want people to view me differently. My family was learning about my disability at the same rate as me, so there was not much confusion of how they should help or treat me. When I came home from my rehab hospital my friends greeted me with open arms and things were great, but as much as I wanted to pretend they were normal they weren’t. My friends didn’t understand how to help or what to do, but why would they? they wanted to pretend things were normal just as much as I did.         As I had to do in many situations after the accident I took charge and lead the way. I told my friends how to help and what I needed. I found myself reflecting on the words that had left my mouth when the accident first occurred “I’m still me”. I knew now that I wasn’t and I wanted to be treated diffe...

  my first time in a wheelchair        I know I have infrequently been posting blogs for the last couple of months, mostly because I’m running out of material and I feel like I’m not reaching enough people.  I will be transitioning to posting blogs on my website hopefully around once a month at masonsnextsteps.com and posting to my Instagram more often , you can find the masonsnextsteps Instagram on the website and my personal Instagram is mason_branstrator. You can pretty much find me on any platform with either my name (mason branstrator) or my current brand name (masonsnextsteps).  please reach out if you have any comments questions or concerns!
