Well said, Rick. I just take
it one day at a time and try to find the best in each day. I enjoy life
and living despite quadom.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Blame Game SCI
Life
Hi all,
I've been reading all of you're 'wonder why'
replies and here's my two cents worth. There has been a lot of talk
about stem cell research and the possibility of a cure for the injured
spinal cord on human beings. I want and pray for a cure just as much as the
next person does (have followed all the newspaper reports, magazine
articles, TV stories, legislator talks, etc. regarding cures and still
will) but I'm not going to let that become the reason for going on in my
quad life. I haven't heard much talk on living with your SCI and making
the best of the hand one was dealt. Rather, a lot of discussions on maybes,
some days, wishes, dreams, hopes, blaming Religion beliefs for non cures
(hilarious), blaming whatever else one can, blame this, blame that, blah,
blah, blah. I'm getting real tired of it. Accept it and find a way to live
on even though it's not the life you chose. No one here wanted this, did
we? No, so get on with it the best you can and if a cure happens, then all
the better. There, I've said it. I haven't heard this side of
the discussion from anyone yet. It needed to be said.
Staying
positive and living with a injured spinal cord,
Rick C3-4 QoV, 20
