I don't think what you feel is unusual, especially for the number of years you have been a quad. I miss the feeling of throwing my arms around someone and just hugging them to death. It's just not the same to have somebody hug you but you can't move your arms and hug them back. Waking up in the middle of the night because I am trying to turn on my side (which is impossible as I can only sleep on my back) always brings a big lump in my throat. It's just a side effect of being a quad. Unlike a death it never ends. I feel you Bobbie. Hugs Joan

It took about 1 minute. I turned off the TV and tried to remember how that felt ... but I can't. I couldn't stop crying. I can't tell you how many times I've heard family or friends say "I'm going to jump in the shower." Or "I got home, I was so dirty I had to jump in the shower." I know, I know I should be over feeling like this and it not make me cry after ALL these years. So I'm asking; Does anybody else still get "up set" or "bothered" by what I described above?
