Agree Dana! I have been blessed over the last 24 ½ years to only have had one serious hospital stay due to a blood clot in my leg and it broke off and I had multiple pulmonary embolisms in both lungs.
I have great care! I am very fortunate! Nicki C5 From: Dana [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 8, 2023 3:06 PM To: Noel Cc: Don Price; Jim Lubin; Quad-list Post Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Greg Wickenburg My condolences to Greg and his family. I had never spoken to him,when Dana was alive she had spoke with him and his family. She was quite concerned, because if I'm remembering correctly he had breathing problems. She had not been able to get a hold of him. Thank you for posting about his photography career. I think it would be good if we could list all the people on the group that we've lost and how did they die. Several of them I didn't know the cause. Several seem to be sores. I think it would be great if we would share more about each other and how we fight different complications of spinal cord injury. I know sepsis can be a serious complication. I hhave had sepsis too many times. I believe that was a complication of Christopher Reeves. It can take you down so fast if you don't catch it soon enough. It will be 2 years since I had in June, caused by UTI infections. I can't remember the young girl's name, but she was a paralyzed journalist that died from sepsis. Several did not have adequate care. I feel like if the country can send millions of dollars to other countries and we don't even know if that money needed is legitimate. Persons with disabilities, where there they be car accidents, diving and many of the diseases that don't have a cure or veterans should have more adequate care to prevent these deaths.Forgive me of my speaking out of turn. I'm Proud of his ability to learn how to use his photography. One of the quads had come to my hospital to try to speak to me about getting a ventilator, because that's what he had. He died because his ventilator fell off during the night because he didn't have any night support. He was a peer counselor for the whole person, an independent living center in Kansas City. He chose to live independently even though he didn't have enough care.Some people don't qualify for enough care because of their income Being a little too high for Medicaid Eligibility. To my knowledge Medicare doesn't cover in-home care. After I have gotten out of the hospital a physical therapist or nurse might be able to come for a week. I have to limit my time in the chair, because of her persistent pressure area. If we are injured at a young age we get osteoporosis, causing bones breaking that cannot be operated on.. It's good to remember those that have been lost, because on this group we care about each other.

Greg was a really nice guy and I got to hang out with him a few times at his home. He always beat me in Wii tennis. I’m not sure if Greg ever shared his photography with the group, but he developed a pretty neat technique of overlapping two photos to create this beautiful double-exposure effect. Very creative. Rest easy, Greg. You are missed.

He was surrounded by family and died peacefully at home. Greg was an amazing, inspiring, creative, generous, determined, funny "smartass", and as genuine as they come. Even facing his difficult challenges in life, he never failed to stay positive. He will forever be in our hearts and now he is free to fly. We love you Greg. You will be missed by all.
