Angie, you have been vent dependent since age 13? In your circumstances, I think the anger would eat me alive. You are a strong and remarkable person.

So sorry, Eddie. I'm really glad you survived, though!! My 13th year is on the 31st, that means that everyday after that one will be over half of my life like this, ventilator dependent quadriplegic from a spinal cord injury at the levels of C1 and C2. All because some fü€ker wasn't paying attention to his turn signal and the road in front of him. I know everyone's reason for being paralyzed, especially when the reason is because of someone else, is awful. I'm not trying to one up anybody. I'm just trying to ignore, (but have a need to acknowledge), that after the 31st of August, every day is going to be one more day that outnumbers the 13 years, two months, two weeks, and a few days that I was able bodied.
