I'm guessing we all have similar, multiple stories. I keep telling myself that
this time will be the last time, whether because I'll be more careful or the
results won't be positive, but, like you said, it's part of quadlife…

Subject: Fwd: [QUAD-L] Fell Forward, bad time
When my son was two, he and I were out tooling around in the neighbors
backyard. It was about 90°. We were going at a pretty good clip when all of a
sudden my front wheel found a pothole hiding beneath the grass. Like you my
head was thrown between my knees. I could not get up nor yell. It scared my
little son to death. It was a heck of a situation. Finally, he ran to the back
door crying. My wife finally heard him and came looking for me. I was rescued
at the last second. To be that hot, breathless, and helpless is something I
never want to repeat again. Just another one of the hellish attributes of
quadom. Thank God for my young son.

Whew, that was a close one, Greg! Let's not do that again, ok? The heat and AD
together could have made for a very bad outcome.

I was going out the back door and fell forward. Into my lap. Joystick jammed my
shoulder, but kept me from going further forward. Outside, 100 degrees, record
humidity. Hard to breath, overheated, etc. Pouring sweat from A.D. It was bad.
I thought it was hours, but it was just over 1 hour. I had to dump cold water
on my head, put ice packs on. No one could hear me. It was no fun. The thoughts
that go though your head. Between the pain, overheating, breathing, etc. No
more going without chest strap. Greg
