Wow, congrats to all you longtime quads--- Larry, Dana both Daves and some
others as well----I'm 51 now , and just hit 11 years post..... Starting at age
50 my Syrinx has began to get worse, affecting my right arm and causing more
pain all the time--even in area's of my back that I used to not feel
pain......it's frightening but all we can do is try to keep on one day at a
time. I have to get an mri before long and see what my options are---in the
meantime I need pain meds all the time ;(
Keep on keepin on........... :-) Dan H.

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

Congratulations Larry on your 37 year, if that is right. 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

I have chosen not to think too much about the anniversary of my accident,
but I have decided to embrace the first time I was able to breathe for 24 hours
without any ventilator assistance.
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.
