I think the Craig Hospital site has a figure site or do a google search.
But it's really all in vain (the search) because one simply never knows. Chris Reeve
had the best of care but he let himself be a guinea pig and it did him in.
Jilll Kinmont was injured in the 50s and is nearly 70 yrs old. She's been a quad over 50 yrs and several vets do too.
75+ yrs AS A QUAD will prolly be found for those kids injured around 5 yrs of age. And these will be
future pioneers.
Everyone gets a deck of cards in life and we deal with what were dealt ... how poetic. LOL
People today are OBSESSED with longevity and it's silly. Aging gracefully is cool but all
this "holding on for a few more yrs" in panic mode wastes QUALITY TIME of living!
I wonder why you chose the figure 75???

Hello All,
Quick question…..Does anyone know the life expectancy of quads? I know it may vary. However, I am just curious if there are many 75+ year old quads out there.
Thanks,
Michelle
