Thanks VERY much to Greg and Bobbie for their top-ten lists of functions
they miss the most. It's exactly what I was looking for. I hope other
folks will provide some lists as well.

I'm going to be speaking at a seminar in June. You can help me prepare
by answering a question that can be asked two ways:
What functions do you miss the most? What are the functions that you
would most want to recover if you had the chance?
Make a list of ten functions, in order if you can do it. Post it or send
it to me privately at [email protected]. If there are a reasonable
number of responses, I'll post the results on the list.
Be specific. Not just "use of my hands" but the specific function(s)
that use of your hands would allow you to do, such as play a musical
instrument or tune your Ferrari. If you selected both of those, they
would count as two choices and you would have eight left to choose.
Please let me know your level of injury when you respond.
Why am I asking this? Simply to show that folks who are paralyzed
similarly are personally affected in different ways, some of which a
non-paralyzed person might not expect. As I have said to people since my
son became a C1-C2 in 1998: walking is overrated.
