Thanks Dana. I never dreamed I would last 37 years! The last 2 years I can really tell a difference. I stay tired all the time and battle panic attacks that are just killers. I still have that sore too. I figure I'll take it to my grave. Life just seems to get harder as I grow older, but I guess that is the way life works. Take care, my friend. Larry

Please correct me if I am wrong about your name.WOW 37 years-a great accomplishment. How are you doing? I think I remember you writing about a sore, how is it doing? How are your dogs, you have two? I hope you celebrated in some way. I forgot to tell people last month that my 34th anniversary was July 27. I usually remember to list it.What I remember the most,is that I overheard I was paralyzed by a nurse talking to a physical therapist.It had been almost a month and I was in ICU on a ventilator.I kept feeling like I was in a straitjacket, but did not realize what my injury was.Duh Dana54, 34 years post, Prairie Village Kansas, which is a suburb of Kansas City. Congratulations and God bless. Hang in there. Day before yesterday was my 37th anniversary. Still truckin' but each day is a mighty rough haul. Time is catching up with me and it aint fun.. Wishing you many more years of breathing my friend.

I was shooting for my birthday, August 4, but I managed to breathe on my own for the entire day on August 6 (today) 13 years ago. In fact, I have only been put on a ventilator once since then to aid me in getting out secretions. Well, I do stuck on the end of a ventilator hose daily in order to get some medication into my lungs, but I didn't start doing that until February 2007. I had planned on doing something today, but that didn't work out. Tomorrow I will definitely doing something worthwhile.-- QuadiusC2-3 incomplete13 years post injury Got Game?
