I dont have enough money to pay for the insurance. I am barely making it as it
is.

You need hospitalization insurance to in the least make days pays as you add up
your cash. I’ve found Physician’s Mutual best for many reasons. If you know
you will be using it annually these policies are well worth the effort.

I totally agree with the post. I'm coming up on my 7th memorial weekend. It
seems almost every spring it has been something with me. I had bladder surgery
that didnt work, pressure sore surgery twice on the same one and both in the
spring, last year infection in my spinal column which required major amounts of
rods and this spring a screw has broken through the vertebrae and is rubbing
the one above it. Another surgery! I keep going and take it day by day.
People keep telling me how strong I am and they dont know if they could do it.
I just tell them that if they had to, they would. It the typical fight or
flight. Deal with it and move on or curl up in a corner and live the rest of
your life in a nursing home which isnt an option for me. I'm not knocking
those in a nursing home b/c I realize there is no choice for some but I was
lucky in finding a way to do it on my own so I did and will fight to keep my
independence.

Subject: [QUAD-L] 20th anniversary
Last year I wanted to write a blog about my 12th anniversary, but I didn't feel
that inspired at that time. Now I'm trying to write one about my 13th, even
though I am about a week and a half late. It seems that I copied a message
from someone on this list to give me inspiration for this year's blog. I found
it to be one of the best entries I had read regarding quad milestones and I am
seriously considering using it as a format for my blog. I, however, would like
to find out who it is, because for some reason I didn't copy down the name.
The anniversary date of the person's accident was April 1, 1988. Is that
person still on the list or does anyone have an idea who this might be. Below
is a small excerpt of what I copied.
Finding things in life I like or dislike, in other words its like being reborn
all over again, minus learning to walk. Over these years I have been asked "How
do you do it?" or "I'm not sure what I would do if that happened to me". How do
I do it? Easy, I live each day as it comes, take what is given to me and accept
it for what it is. As to the other question, you either choose to live life to
the fullest or wither up, the latter for me is not an option. I also have some
pretty cool disabled friends that keep me focused along the way.
Thanks,
Quadius
