Congratulations Dan, I know I felt the same way as you Dan. Now we hear of someone, Henry living 53 years ago was so sorry to hear about his syrinx as many of you know about their pain, which is hard to treat and worry about their growth ? Please correct me if I'm wrong, Billy or anyone

Luke, I purchased the Oxy cycle, off-line. It serves my purpose. I am paralyzed on the right side, so I have to have my right foot tied up to the pedal with a nylon stocking. It is electric, and the speed is adjustable. Naomi C-4 quad, incomplete since July 2, 2005 Transverse Myelitis

Hi Dan, Hang-in there, buddy. I really believe the 10-20 years SCI post are the best ones. Then when you're 20 years post, the 20-30 years are the best. Come to think of it, whatever the years post that you are living, are always the best! Stay strong. With Love, CtrlAltDel

Dan, For sure, you can last another 10 years. You probably thought you couldn't last these past 10 years, but you did. Congratulations on making it the past 10 years! Look forward to the future. I only two years post, and those were our hardest to years of my life (I'm 50 years old).

I purchased mine late in 96 from Sammons Preston. I got cheaper of the two cycles. 1. Saratoga cycle - a bit more pricey. 2. Colorado cycle - the same as 1, but cheaper. To this day I still use it. Everything works fine still. The cost was roughly $700.00 for just the hand cycle and I had

I truly wish you loads of luck. You will need more that you did when you chose to use your old Levo standing chair. As you know and your attorney will find out Levo was a Swiss Based Company with a North American Office in Atlanta, Ga. In 2006, Levo was sold to Dane and the company has
