Oh, I hate it when people once were paralyzed and then recovered gradually
say it's because of their hard work and determination. I'm like I didn't
try so I'm still in the chair? More like, how about your cord wasn't
damaged like those that are still in the chair. Give me a F...in break is
what I would love to tell those people.
The stupid question just make me laugh.
