This ever happen to you?

mr_coffee · 05-12-2009, 10:59 PM

I never thought of this until now because one of my friends brought it up. So there is this girl, very attractive, we went to the same school together and hung out a few times here and there.

So anyways, she recently commented one of my pics on myspace but hasn't talked to me in years since I was injuried so I thought that was weird.

I was talking to my friend today and he said, you wouldn't believe who asked about you. I WAS LIKE O RLY WHO? It was the same girl who commented my picture the night before. She told him that Cory Sanchez is so good looking, thats too bad he is crippled and can't talk and stuff. Wait, what, repeat, she thinks I can't talk? Then she goes to say, what can he do? Thank god he actually told her what was up but REALLLY PEOPLE?

God damn, I wonder how many of my old acquaintances think I'm like mentally messed up from this car wreck and just never wanted to ask me. It gave me a giggle.

Anyone else run into this?

I had an old neighbor think I was bedridden after my injury b/c he never saw me around anymore.

I was away @ college in another city.

Does it count when people talk to you REALLY loud, or ask someone with me "What does he want"? We actually had the latter to happen shortly after my accident. We were in a restaurant and the waitress asked my stepmom what I wanted to eat. My stepmom said "How should I know, ask him."

LOL, she thinks you are a quad mute. I had a high school friend running around town telling everyone I was dead the first year after my accident.

Mine went ran the gambit from "Oh he was working on a car and it fell on him" to "He saw a deer crossing the road and just before he hit it, he lept out of the car window"

Wow....Is she one of those dingy kind of people. Where everything you say seems like a question to her. You would think that after all this time since you have been injured the story would have been set straight.

Hey, I've been injured for 24 years and have lived in the same town most of the time and still don't have the story straight. Mr. Coffee, you're not alone at all. I had an english professor a while back that 3/4 of the way through the semester thought I couldn't read. Unfortunately those you think would know better don't.

My accident happened my senior year and I didn't return back to school. There was tons of rumors flying around about me at school about how bad my injuries were, it was crazy. My parents even had to set a couple of their neighbors straight who thought I was bedridden.

I had wrote a blog on myspace about what had really happened here's one of the comments I recieved.
"We're all proud of you babe. You've got bigger nuts than me. It's funny to hear the whole true story after all the rumors that had been flying around school when it first happened. I miss ya.

Matt"

Can't wait to attend the 10 year class reunion!

There are people around here that think am still faking my SCI after 34 years.
Some people just can't imagine why you can't move your legs.

I can't imagine it either.....but am living it.
