Hi, I feel about the same. Mine is next month. It hits me hard at times, the memories are hard to take but yet I am grateful to. I admire every ones courage and positive outlook in this group, it is not easy to have at times, I know. Best, Shirley Bell

Well, today, April 5, is my SCI injury "anniversary." I used to dread this day, but now it really doesn't matter anymore. I choose to celebrate the good things in my life and therefore I usually go out to dinner and celebrate August 6, the first day I was able to breathe on my own without the aid of the ventilator. It's been 18 years now and while I am grayer, a little older looking (actually I look quite a bit older), I still look fondly on that day as if it was yesterday. I'll try to be on here more, but I can't make guarantees. Take care everyone, Quadius
