I hear you Lori.....I feel for you Quads that don't have a partner or close
family...It takes a lot of courage,guts and Will to carry on in such tough
conditions. I do have children but they are not real close and have busy lives
with their own families and jobs, i rely on my wife for about everything...I'm
like a few on the list that hope we pass before our partners do, We had been
married for many years before we were in our car accident that left me
Paralyzed. I was 40 and my wife (Leeann ) was 36 at that time.....I'm now 59
and she is 56. Right now i'm dealing with kidney or bladder trouble not sure
if I have and infection or stones or something going on, I have been blessed
because after I had a huge bladder stone removed at age 50, I have not had any
more stones and only a few bladder infections in the last 9 years or so. May
God bless you all, Dan H***

Well, on one side of the situation you are very lucky to be able to use such
a machine because my level of injury does not allow that. Secondly, you are
fortunate to have your mother available (I lost my mother when I was 16 years
old and my father when I was 13 years old. While my injury happened in the
middle of both of their deaths... when I was 15 years old).On the flip side, it
seems like people from all types of services and situations (even Dr. offices
or any place that might even be selling something and you would think they
would want to call you back for your interest in their product or whatnot, etc.
etc. etc.). Just don't call you back anymore.I am come across this so many
times it is pathetic. And sad.~Lori

Well peeps, I get my rio dragonfly( attachable powered handcycle) from ebay
last week and I was happy about potential fun I would have with it this
spring/summer. This guy I know told me he would come and help me get it fitted
either tues, wed or thurs of this week. in preparation I read the manual , put
some of it together, charge battery and get it set up to make it easy as
possible for when he comes. I wait all week and the guy never shows up or even
calls me. I told myself that I wasn't going to get mad so I rigged the legs of
the cycle on jack stands in my room and was able to adjust them to the right
length by myself. Its all together now and adjusted as well as charged. If my
mom will just hold the front of the bike, Im going to try to attach it tomorrow
for the first time. I would have tried that myself but the front end has a
spring that brings the wheel back to center when you turn and that needs
adjustment I think. Somehow..........someway Im going to get this thing going
by hook or by crook. I guess anything you want bad enough you can figure out,
but it sure is a big deal to do the simplest things as a quad.
