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
