How different and similar lives can be. This Saturday will mark 39 years post
injury, from the age of 17. I'm fortunate in that my body doesn't hurt but I
have also recently discovered a serious pressure sore, despite having an
expensive, unique seating system and having been pressure mapped in the system
probably 4-5 times in the last year – with the mapping showing no pressure.
And while I haven't had my current PAs with me for 9 years, they probably both
have at least 5 years apiece. I went to college, haven't traveled much,
certainly been bad, but like to think I'm good, and I don't know what the
future holds. Except, I hope there are no "newbies." Jeff

Today is 45 freaking YEARS since I fell off a 250 Kawalski and broke C 5,6 at
17 years old
My body is truly falling apart and hurts like HELL!
I met Pete 9 years later and he's STILL taking care of me 24/7/365. Bless his
heart ❤️
I went to college, traveled, was bad, was good
I don't know how much longer I can stand sitting. I just found out I have a
stage 4 wound and I was only getting up every other day for 7-8 hours a day
And that's with Pete checking my skin EVERY day ... it just "cropped up"
I hope you newbie's have a better Road then us old timers
