Hi,
Ive been a c7 quad for 9 years, 7 of those I have do 3 hours
therapy every tues and thurs. Im strong as hell, but Im not going to
walk away, at least anytime soon.
If I had the chance for stem cells or any possible therapy to
get on my feet or better myself I would take it. I would work 24 hours
a day if I thought I could get better.
But the truth is stem cells are many years away from helping
any of us old time quads. Its going to help the freshly injured way b4
it helps us. Another fact is people that have healthy families dont
care about paralyzed individuals, and many of them feel we brought this
on ourselves or werent right with god.
So enjoy the small things we have left and build on them. Dont
get caught up in the hope game, give yourself the best life you can by
getting out there and doing something to make you feel worthwhile. If a
cure comes......youll hear about it.
Remember noone gets out of here alive, and the so called able
bodied are only that way for a time. Everything has a duration period.
Even the most gorgeous blonde will dry up and get old.
We are all equals and deserve to live and enjoy life, get out
and demand yours. Dont let any red tape or bad attitudes stop you.
