#yiv106204291 p {margin:0;}Hey Guys, how about something positive. There are
some good things about being a quad.
1. Good parking (most of the time)
2. You meet kind people
3. You know more about technology than most.
4. You don't wear out shoes too fast...haha
5. People like to sleep with you because we don't toss and turn all night....te

6. Know the best television shows (I'll second that)
7. For the guys, boobs are at eye level :)
C,mon add your own, funny or not.
But most important Bobbie, I learned that there truly is a God, and I am truly
blessed even as a frickin' Quad

The old adage that "It could be worse" is so very true. However, that doesn't
mean we shouldn't grieve our loss or vent our frustrations. All of us on the
list drew the short straw and I imagine all of us get mad as hell over the
unfairness of it all. I appreciate the little movement I have but I don't feel
blessed because some other poor soul is in worse shape. Quadom is a bit of hell
that simply varies in degree. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy (if I had
one). Thanks, my friends, for letting me rant. Have a great day.

Hi Toby I didn’t take it as complaining but more as a statement of fact and
wishing for more. We have been talking about our limitations and frustrations
for many years for some of us on this list.I only have shoulder shrugs as a C4
complete, but do know of other C4 completes that have more. So we use what we
can and learn to make do and have shared many unusual fixes and adaptions over
the years which have helped each other. This is one place we can whine and
know that somebody out there has been in the same spot and can have some
empathy for what we have and what we have lost.I have always wished for one arm
and a somewhat working hand, and to heck with ever walking again because I
never need to look for a chair to sit in. JEach of us wants different things,
and each of us mourns about different things but we’re all united by our
handicaps in some way. Thank goodness for each of our uniqueness.Good to see
you on the list.Joan C4 1990 in
