From Ventilator to Singing Again

I have enjoyed singing and have been pretty good at it all my life if I say so myself. But after an accident involving a drunk driver early January 1st, 2017 I found myself paralyzed from the neck down unable to speak or breathe, let alone sing. I needed a ventilator because my diaphragm was paralyzed, and it would be like that for about 2 months. Once I was weened off the vent and was able to breathe enough to function I started a portion of rehab where we sang to help our breathing. After getting home 4 months post-injury I decided to keep it going, use my extra time to sing, and get my diaphragm stronger which in turn helps my coughing, blood pressure,e and ability to speak loudly. So I started Seated Covers my YouTube channel where I sing to continue strengthening my diaphragm and enjoying my passion after tragedy.
