At that time I believe he was the oldest living quad as far as long-term

been a quad for the longest.
Hopefully he is still with us.

Hi Paul, I don't know, but I think there was a wife of a quadriplegic that was injured sometime around 53, but I don't know if she is still posting. I don't remember seeing a post from her for quite some time. I had saved her information on my other computer I think, but it is being repaired. That is a very interesting topic. How was the health of the quadriplegic you know Bill? Paul, what was the cause of your friend's death? . guess it really depends on how well you take care of yourself and of course if your caregivers are careful with your skin and that kind of care that they give you. I had always thought that we died from lung or kidney problems. I don't know what the latest statistics are.? . Dana I know a C6-7 quad who is 54 years post and 71 years old.

Re: [QUAD-L] Oldest Quad?
The quad I know is in great health. He retired last year after running his own DME store chain in MI for 40 years. He started with one small wheelchair store and 15 years later had 8 stores selling beds, wheelchairs, shower/commode chairs and other medical equipment. I bought everything from him from 1968 until I moved to FL in 2003. I wish he'd open a store here.

Hi Paul, I don't know, but I think there was a wife of a quadriplegic that was injured sometime around 53, but I don't know if she is still posting. I don't remember seeing a post from her for quite some time. I had saved her information on my other computer I think, but it is being repaired. That is a very interesting topic. How was the health of the quadriplegic you know Bill? Paul, what was the cause of your friend's death? . guess it really depends on how well you take care of yourself and of course if your caregivers are careful with your skin and that kind of care that they give you. I had always thought that we died from lung or kidney problems. I don't know what the latest statistics are.? . Dana I know a C6-7 quad who is 54 years post and 71 years old.

Re: [QUAD-L] Oldest Quad?
Hi, I have had the honor of meeting a fellow by the name of Jim Boen who has written a book called 50 years of Quadriplegia. He should by now be 75 years old. When I met him last autumn, he appeared to be in quite good health. His eyes were still very bright, and he certainly had a wonderful attitude. If you enter his name into a search engine, you can find his free book. I found it to be very, very entertaining, as well as enlightening. His PCA commented that he is probably the nation's oldest and longest living quad. If you guys do look up his book, let me know what you think of it. Journey well through life.

Re: [QUAD-L] Oldest Quad?
Despite how hot under the collar it could make me, I really enjoyed e-mailing with him. He made me think in ways I probably wouldn't have otherwise. Maybe if I can dig up his e-mail address all see how he is doing. That is if you don't have any other information I'm unaware of.
