Happy 18th. I've chosen not to celebrate the anniversary of my accident, but I am going to really celebrate the anniversary of my first full 24 hours off the ventilator. That was four months of hell that I never want to repeat. I am truly indebted to the respiratory staff at the Tampa VA for having the initiative to wean me even after all of the pulmonary doctors thought there would be no way I would ever breathe again. I'll be sending out thank you cards and flowers. 13 years of air. Thank you! You've had it tuff! I don't celebrate either, just acknowledge another year done. Unlike you though I've had much more freedom from this quad stuff. I'm happy for you that you no longer need the vent! Dianna **************Gas prices getting you down?
