RE: [QUAD-L] Scoliosis +

2009-12-29 Thread Greg
For me, the worst part of being a quad is the issue of the b-program. It's
become harder to go through, more sweating, spasms, time, etc.

The number 2 thing is the 24/7 pain. If I could just have a weeks break of
both.

I hear ya Bobbie. The pain  everything else that tags along with quads, I
can relate to. But I'm sorry for you and all others who were robbed at such
a young time of life.

Ya know, Greg... I've thought the same thing at times.  But then I also realize 
that if I ever *did* get a 1-week break from it all (those 2), it would be no 
time before I'd be wishing for a 2-week break!

Wish in one hand B-Program in another!  Ahhh...shit!

Best!

[QUAD-L] can't visit family - not accessable

2009-12-29 Thread bobbie299

Hi Bobbie,
Is it the cost of rehabbing the entry or that you don't visit that often to 
 merit the upgrade.  I would not be surprised that you are not the only one 
 with  that issue.
Best Wishes

Hi Bobbie... I truly feel for you!  My whole family lives in PA in an old farm 
town with lots of steep steps to every building.  I only have one blood 
relative's home I can visit (besides my own old house) when I fly back to 
visit.  All our visits, gatherings, welcome back's, etc. all end up being 
outside in the barn (yep, real barn!) or in my parent's house that still has 
the ramp from 20 yrs ago when I lived there.

And even here where I live, I only really see my wife's family at my house or 
her one sister's house... and that's only because they have a son who uses a 
chair (but isn't independently mobile at all... so where to park is even 
limited).

I know... at least I *can* visit to some degree but I do remember the days when 
it was my house or outside only.  If not for my grandparents being in their 
90's I'd still only have my old home... it's a hell of a way to call myself 
lucky.

I hope something comes up to help cheer you up -- after you get All the Cry 
Out first, that is.  No sense holding back and I'm sure glad you decided to 
write something instead of suckin' it up and keepin' it in.  That's not good 
for any of us!

Best wishes  Good vibes sent your way...
