Thanks for the update on Nancy. I've known her since the early 90's when
we would chat in AOL disAbility Chats.
Best Wishes

Greetings my quad list friends and friends [since 1995 for me],
Sometimes after so much time goes by and either we are kept busy doing
happy things or are stuck in bed with a wound... we often lose track of each
other and exactly who is who and what is about that person.
I know we have lost one of the most wonderful contributors here [Dave
Kelmer] and I believe that Bill Jenkins (in Florida) was the one who told us
of
his wishes. This was back in 2009.
Having said that, here is what I would like from each one of you to
refresh my old lady mind. I feel like I have aged a lifetime over the last 4
years after losing my husband and unable to live with family any longer.
* Name
* Age
* Date of injury
* Town and state where you are from (unless you would just like to state
the state you are living in).
* Are you a quad or a para? If you are a quad ... what level of injury are
you?
* Complete or incomplete injury?
And any other information you would like to offer. Thanks a bunch in
advance!
Best to you all!
Lori Michaelson - age 51. How did that happen?!?!!!
C4/5 complete quad, 36 1/2 years post. Unable to drive.
I can feed myself if prepared and placed in front of me. Food needs to be
cut up if necessary.
Grew up in a small town in New York State and lived there for 36 years but
after meeting my husband he got transferred a couple times which first
took us to Virginia and then to Tucson Arizona.
I was devastated with his unexpected passing at only 63 years old on June
11, 2012 and over 90% of me went with him.
Went to live with sister and brother-in-law in northeastern Pennsylvania
for 3 years but, despite hiring morning and evening caregivers ... my sister
and brother-in-law wanted me to move on for a myriad of reasons but
primarily because my sister began having venous stasis and my brother-in-law
wanted his house back without people coming and going.
Needless to say I am very disappointed in them because they very well
could have taken me on longer. I had I known it was only going to be for 3
years (even though was an emergency situation as I had nowhere to go) I wish I
had found a live-in caregiver in Tucson where my husband and I have been
living for 11 years.
Landed back in Tucson Arizona with a live-in caregiver in January 2016.
My story is a long one but I will stop there.
