FW: Re: [QUAD-L] Life expectancy

[William Willis]

Last year I read some statistics that said a quad injured at age 20 had a 
life expectancy of about 38 more years. I read it on the web and it was a 
reputable source. I think that number applied to anyone injured in his teens 
and twenties. As we know, though, the number of variables is tremendous.

I  think the life expectancy post was along the lines of someone injured in
their  20's living into their 70's not someone injured at 69.  As someone
mentioned, it's not the sci itself that might shorten your life.  It's  the
complications.  Your father's heart problems should be top  priority.

Very True, Eric.  The secret is rather complex in the survival rate  and
those who live long
lives.  One's genes and health care is all very important.
Even the best equipment, health care is no warranty.  Anyone could  catch a
virus at anytime in their lives.
Maybe that is why waking up in the early morning as the sun rises, is so
enjoyable and rewarding.  You have been graced with another day.
