Does botox help with tightness in legs, or does it just calm the spasms?

I agree Donno, having a minivan van makes life so much easier.

Grommet, why is public transport a bad ride for you?

Curt, I can't lift my chair. After my last back surgery, I can't do that...

No, I have not tried any fundraisers.

What do you drive? How do you get your chair in and out?

As some of you know, I recently entered a contest to win a new van. ***Thanks again to those of you who supported me!***

I didn't win the van. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I...

Thank you so much to those of you who have been supporting me! I'm truly touched. <3

Tomorrow is the last day to vote. I'm almost positive that I am in the top 10%. Now we just have to wait...

You guys are so awesome! I can't thank you enough!

I was on the news today. I think they did a pretty good job! Now, I wonder how I can get in the newspaper.

Tomorrow I'm going to be printing up some flyers and posting them on bulletin boards around Portland. Would anyone be interested in posting some of them where you live? Suggestions for where you...

Thank you!

I don't know how he is doing it! Sounds like he's a very likable guy, so he's probably got his entire school voting for him. There is another high school kid who is also doing really well (vote...

That is awesome Linda! Thank you so much!

Bente, I truly appreciate your help! Even if it gets just one of your Norwegian friends to vote, I'm very grateful. : )

Everyone, thank you!!!
...

Thank you all so much! I just found out that I'm #44 out of nearly 900. That's good because that means I am still in the top 10%, but I am falling behind a bit.

I've been trying hard to think...

You are all fabulous! <3

Thanks so very much!

BTW, I've created a FB page just for this. So if you have a FB, you can "like" my page and then you can get reminders to vote, as well as occassional updates.

Here's a...

Where is the "like" button? :D

Thank you Bente!

I'd like everyone to know why I don't come here very often anymore. It can be a pretty depressing place. I think Betheny's son dying is what pushed me over the top.

Peter, why is it important that the sore granulates?

I don't leak urine, and I have a colostomy, so that's good. I had major back surgery 2 years ago though, and I often have a problem with...

Thank you all!

I was surprised when she said I couldn't come in until the 30th. I thought they'd want me there asap.

MSspouse, it wasn't the doctor who discovered it. It was me. I can't see...

Found out yesterday that I have a sore on my butt. My regular doc wasn't in, so I saw a different doc. She was fresh out of med school and didn't know anything. She referred me to the wound...

I saw this on FB too. I can't remember my 2nd and 3rd word, but my first was broken. I noticed a lot of my friends on FB saw "broke" but many of the people here, including myself, saw "broken". ...

I had one. Other than increasing my spasticity significantly, it was great.

I was 8 when I was injured. My bedroom was on the second floor of our house. My dad's solution was to have a wheelchair at the bottom of the stairs, and another one at the top. In the morning,...

Thanks all!

The date I had last week... he lives in a condo...
