Janice,Not sure what year it is for you ... but my husband and I went to High School together and always went back when we could for reunions...when our 40th came up I was 2 yrs. into TM.. I didn't go .... I couldn't face them.. I was tooo proud.. too vain... I was the captain of the cheerleaders and now I needed an ugly walker to get around......but I AM still the original "dancing fool"... I love to party and we always had a fantastic time..I do regret not going to it !! I have such great friends home! What the hell was I thinking!! I missed so much! .. My 45th (yes I'm 63 yrs. young) is coming up and I wouldn't miss it. I've decided to just say "I have a spinal cord injury" and most people will end it there.. And YES I will get out on that dance floor and my husband will hold me up and we women will get up and sing New York, New York and we will laugh and cry over the "good ol'days" And like "ladyOwl" said, we really haven't changed all that much.. we are very much the person we were way back when... so here I am..... a great deal older but hopefully a great deal wiser. Carpe Diem!!! Trudy
