Lonecoaster - thank you. My beloved wife felt the same. Thank you for understanding, and knowing that we understand.

Now and then, I still read here, and sometimes go back to time periods when I was not participating. Given that the holidays are approaching, this thread deserves a bump. My partner's family...

Debbie was a para but used a powerchair due to other issues that came up over time. Once we were a good 40 minutes from home and broke down with our full-sized van. Weren't sure what we would do...

and now you're SCI. And I've read so much bitterness about AB stupidity on so many levels. Yeah, I get it. I am AB and my partner was SCI and I sure as hell saw the stupidity. I never asked this...

That's a pretty amazing pain clinic! Hope it keeps surprising and impressing you - it did me just from reading your post!

I was attacked by a German Shepherd when I was a kid. Same dog had threatened me many times and I'd avoided it by stopping cold and standing stock still for as long as it took for the dog to move on....

I"m still trying to figure out why Debbie had a lot of scars and yet what she focused on in our "dating' days was the scars on her right leg -which had been crushed when she was hit by a car. It was...

Had to do this because of cancer treatment bills, and I had insurance.

I hope Medicaid pays up and you find another way. Good luck, and I"m very sorry for your son's accident.

That is pretty freaking impressive from a 9 year old!

I"m not sure what I believe about telepathy seriously. The scientists say we don't tap into much of our brains' abilities. Maybe it's...

I suspect some of the answers you're looking for may depend on other injuries one may have suffered at the same time they acquired their SCI. For example, my partner - who's SCI at age 13 was a...

I have much to learn, Patrick. Thank you, and I hope you have peace and love in your life.

I work as an STNA. Obviously you cant' hide your entire home from a new aide, but I have warned new clients who I know will have other aides in their home to either lock up or keep within eyesight...

Pretty sure Betheny became a quadripilegic as a result of doing nothing more than playing around in a fountain with some friends and slipping...

Meanwhile I climbed a very steep church roof. rode...

If you've been married long enough, you know that telepathy is real! :cooldude::tape:

Not sure. She may have simply moved on. She's still listed as a driver for the racing team so hopefully she's just busy.

When I was originally diagosed with ovarian cancer in Jan 2010, I was told that it looked like Stage 3 initially. Looking at the doctors' faces, I figured my time was limited. At that point, though...

Hi Daisy. Things are improving, Not as quickly as I'd like but getting there. I'm finding living with two roommates and six pets to be a bit distracting. Need to get my focus back and take care of...

Wow! Busy lady! Yeah ups and downs I'm sure, but sounds like you're taking life on full steam ahead from where I sit. Really hope the move and Phd program work out well for you!

Appreciate all the...

:hug: back atcha OJ ! Thanks for the good wishes. You "sound" good - hope that means all is going well with you. :)

And I appreciate all the advice. I don't have a laptop, but since I also dont'...

I can only tell you that this AB would say "Congrats!". About the closest I came to your feeling of self-consciousness was when I was bald from chemo and decided to drop the scarf. Last thing I...

I've wanted one of these for awhile but it wasn't in my budget. A friend has offered to sell me her b&w nook pretty cheap - she's upgrading to color. Is there any reason to worry that the older...

Kendell - not my name, but what my parents considered naming me as their names were Ken and Dell I always liked it better than my real name

Somehow New Year's resolutions sounds too ominous. I always feel like I'm gonna get zapped if I don't stick to them!

New Year's hopes? Quit smoking, improved diet and exercise, new job. We shall...
