Dave,
I know that I'm paralyzed and I accept the fact that I am. I know what I can do and I know what I
cannot do from experience. When I
first got injured I figured I could still do just about everything I did
before but I learned quickly how vulnerable I was and what being paralyzed was
all about. It seemed like just
about every time I blew off my commonsense and my spider sense I ended up in
trouble. Now, I respect that I am
paralyzed and can only do so much so I better pay attention to my senses
otherwise am going to be in trouble especially in the wintertime.
I know that I am not looked at as a sexual object because of the way I
look in a wheelchair. Even though
I lost a lot of weight since my injury I still have a large quad gut, which
makes me look somewhat obese and unattractive. Even if you
are in a wheelchair you still have to take care of yourself to make yourself
look attractive to the opposite sex.
Jim
