Re: [QUAD-L] 9.5 years for me in quadadise

Happy belated birthday Ron- I am soon approaching my nineteenth year as a quad, and I have learned that the acceptance with my disability has become easier over the years too. I believe that people in general have accepted those of us with disabilities more, much more than they did back in

[QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back

hello guys, tim mentioned the word freak and it got me thinking about my first vacation as a quad. anyway about 5 years ago my gf at the time wanted me to go on her family vacation. as you can imagine i was very hesitant due to bowell routines every other day, but shes like no problem i

Re: [QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back

Sorry- but your ex gf's mom sounds like she was a royal inconsiderate capital biotch! I like to mess with the real freaks (those like your ex gf's mom), their heads are already messed up so I like to add to it. Next time you are on an elevator and some AB ask's what happened, simply tell

Re: [QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back

Makes you wonder Ron, how much of a freak she would have considered you being, if you had been a millionaire ? It is weird how many look down or don't want much to do with the disabled. Funny though most of us used to be fit and able ourselves.I found that more and more people are becoming

[QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back

Yes Ron, you could be right with the bias, but I've got to consider any complex situation like a frothing argument uses up too much brain power to compose a sentence and you get thing like what you heard. The more intense the argument, the shorter the sentence... until its down to one or

Re: [QUAD-L] Oldest Quad?

Hi Wheels, I agree with you on both counts. Unless I'm mistaken, his injury was sustained while landing a plane in 1954, less than one year after I was born. That is a lifetime of knowledge that he carries in his mind. Whatever it is, I wish him well in all that he does in the future.

RE: [QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back

Young people definitely think they’re invincible but what I hate the most are the lucky ones that make a full recovery and preach that hard work can cure anyone and those of us that are still disabled are guilty of not trying. Mark Jackson RollinOn _ From: Danny Hearn

Re: [QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back

Ron, I am so sorry you had to experience that! Some people are so damn insensitive and selfish. Thank God, things have changed through the years. I know things aren't what they should be, but hopefully, we are much more acceptable than 30 years ago. I agree with you and Tim both,

Re: [QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back

Mark, This is so true. Here is one guy who said that same line you typed, He preached that hard work cured him of his paralysis. The only thing that wasn't, was his one arm. (I believe it was his right.) Anyhow that guy was Bob Dole the Republican candidate for President. Well, when

Re: [QUAD-L] Oldest Quad?

My gosh, I knew he had been a quad a long time and he was probably the oldest that I know of, but I had no idea that he was injured in the 50s. I did, however, meet a quadriplegic who was about the same level as I am (C2-3) who was hurt in and some sort of accident during the last year of the

Re: [QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back

I must agree Mark, that is my absolute pet peeve also. However, the ones that come up and tell me if I pray hard enough I will be able to overcome this really gall me. They don't understand their implication is that I obviously wasn't devout enough. How the hell do they know? Just my two

Well, I'll be going into the hospital in a few days for caregiver respite. This is the first time in four years that I have done this, so I will have to temporarily leave the list for a little while. The worst part for me is I am beginning the respite with a colonoscopy. The joy! I'll look

Re: [QUAD-L] speaking of freak...my first vacation awhile back (politicsl sorta)

I remember hearing him talk about his return from WW2 where he was hit by a machine gun during a battle. He wasn't saying he was physically paralyzed. He was paralyzed by a self-pity that had overcome him. He wasn't able to overcome the mental paralysis that had such a hold of him. As a liberal
