They were a couple of great guy's Todd. My name is Tim and I am coming up on my 21st anniversary in August. I've had one wound- and that was in 2001; that about took me out, and a collapsed lung do to an upper respiratory virus at the end of '08. I void my bladder on my own, and have been treated for 3 UTI's in my years as a quad. I feel pretty fortunate to have had the health that I have had; however, I use to drink way too much and this 43 year old road-dog has seen better days. I am now on more medicine than I ever have been, they are just for orthostatic hypotension; but still, I hate to take anything. I live more of a healthy lifestyle than I ever have. Growing old bites (especially in the chair), but I just keep "RollinOn"!

I know the higher level quads have a significantly shorter lifespan but these guys seem young to me still. I have been injured 20 years and very active, now 36 years old am am just now beginning to see and have problems that I never experienced as a younger guy, such as skin breakdown. I am not looking forward to getting old in this chair!! My hope and belief is that they are in a better place now and free from the chair and everything that went along with it.
