Wow Jim,
Riding in a car puts your life in danger. Eating fast food, breathing
our crappy air, drinking our crappy water, going out in public, jumping bikes,
kissing, smoking, taking drugs, landing on your feet from jumping..,....
what exactly would you consider 'safe'? I remember my 1st gimp
visitor at about 2 months post, I told him to get out - that wasn't going to be
MY life, I was going to walk again.

Like Stacy, I got sick and the result
was me becoming a vent dependent and paralyzed from the neck down when I was
21. I woke up with a sore shoulder, an hour later I had trouble standing, then
stopped breathing. I've been paralyzed ever since.
When I was in
rehab, the psychiatrist in all his wisdom, had another vent dependent quad
come in to talk to me. This guy had gotten drunk and dove off a pier into
shallow water. So me who never drank before and became paralyzed by a
completely unknown cause thought this guy was an idiot and brought it upon
himself. Can you see why I would feel that way? It's not like I did anything
to put my own life in danger.

I got sick and we don't know why. Unfortunately a spinal injury was
the result. Anyone that would say that I brought that upon myself is
just hateful.

- My Mom told her boss at work what happened
to me and she had the nerve to say that some people just bring things
upon themselves. What the hell did I do? She doesn't even
know me. My Mom just asked her what does she think I did to
deserve what I've been through.
- When I tell people who ask me "how did you have your accident"?
"that I was on a motorcycle learning to do jumps" they say things like
"Well you asked for it"
- I think that even quads among us have a "thing" for people who
become a quad by their own doing and other's who had a "true"
accident.
- Do you know what I mean everybody?
