I would have to say I'm not skinny or fat, but I do have a slight quad
belly.

It used to measure and at 6'2", but some people said I measured 6'3" prior
to injury.  So, being a vain person, let's just say I was 6'3" before injury
and about 211 pounds (that's an accurate weight).
Right after my paralysis I weighed in around 152 pounds, but I eventually
got up into the 170's during my first year.  A couple of years later I
ballooned to more than 200 pounds, but right now my way around 185 pounds.
Sadly I have watched my legs and arms atrophy, but I still have a little bit
of muscle left in my eyes, but even that is eroding away before my eyes.

Well, I will be 13 years post tomorrow, April 5.

Quadius
C2-3 (functioning as a C4).
