[QUAD-L] 27 years ago...

[Jim Lubin]

27 years ago today I woke up with a pain in my shoulder. Less than 2 hours
later I could not stand, stopped breathing and my heart stopped. Paramedics
revived me. I woke up in a hospital unable to move, unable to speak and in
so much pain I just wanted to die. Two weeks later I was given a diagnoses
of acute transverse myelitis. Today, still paralyzed from the neck down,
dependent on a ventilator to breathe, but otherwise good health and rarely
any pain.
