The thing that has interfered most in our relationship is non-stop bad luck. Before we got married I was having no UTIs, no wounds, etc.
Since we moved out of NYS in 1999 my problems began. Back-to-back UTIs when I have done NOTHING different. And two major wounds in the last 3 yrs.
I have become a patient over anything else. And we're so diligent & on top of things (wounds, UTIs) but they do what they want to do.
We have so many plans but every damn week it's something. Neither of us can believe everything that's happening to us. And if we DO, by chance, get a smooth week .. bam! Not for long. Then it's either car trouble or SOMETHING.
Frustrated beyond belief!

Hi Liz,
I agree, but I also think you should be comfortable with your looks for yourself as much as for others!
With Love,

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
