Are the panic attacks related to an extended illness which knocked you out of the loop of doing things you should have done by now in your mind but could physically not due to pain? Seems natural life progressions come so easy to even high quads who got married and appear to have desirable lives. Being an aging quad does not appear to be a mellowing experience although there is always a love of life and a yearning to be more of it.

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.

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 Dana 54, 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. -- Quadius C2-3 incomplete 13 years post injury _____ Got Game?
