Hi Shelly,
I was 22 and while white-water rafting on the Upper Salt River in AZ of April
'76, I was thrown from the raft and was just white-watering tumbling. I heard
and felt my neck break, and I had drowned before my buddy made it back to me
and got me out of the water. I remember the ride in the rapids after I left
the raft and breaking my C4/5 vertebrae before losing consciousness under
water, so I have always been glad my buddy found me when he did. My sons were
5 and 2 1/2 years old and I'm sure that was what kept me alive back then. I
love life and I love being a Full-Time Grandpa!
I have two married sons, two wonderful daughters-in-law, a handsome grandson,
14, and three beautiful granddaughters, 9, 8, & 4. My oldest son lives in
Michigan (my ex-wife was from there...sadly she passed away in '98) and my
youngest lives down here near me in North Texas.. My Mom lives here with me
now. She had lived in MA but I wanted her closer so I can make sure she is
doing okay. She is 78 and a diabetic so now I see that she stays well, too.
Her Mom lives with my youngest Aunt, near my family in MI. She will be 100 in
Oct., of this year!
I'm not as active on the Q-List as I would like to be, but had surgery in
Feb. of this year that left me with a wound over my tailbone to get healed.
I'm doing great and hope to be back to myself soon. Stay strong.
With Love,
CtrlAltDel aka Dave

Hi everyone~
Sure, This is long overdue. I did not think there were any females who
belonged to this site! Seemed to be more males (not that there is anything
wrong with that!!)
Ten months ago while having a seizure I fell (about 3 feet) into my garden.
Instantly I was aware of the lack of feeling from my chest down. This will
give you an idea of my married life... I was more concerned that my neighbor
found my keys and locked up my house before I was loaded onto the ambulance.
Long story short, I was flown to Hershey Medical Center. Was there 3 months
and was discharged. My husband could not cope with the "role reversal". As a
result I am now living with my mother and going through a nasty divorce.
Regardless I am very focused on what is important right now, therapy and
recovery.
Would you guys tell me a little about yourself?
