I like the fact people have different feelings and express them on here about being a quad It depresses me when all I read is people saying that life is better since they have been paralyzed and everything is wonderful. I get energized when I hear the real stories of people making is through the struggles and making some good out of it. Bobbie is alright, shes rolling along getting her chair ordered and dealing with everyday life.........she just expresses her frustration along the way......and thats ok with me. As long as your moving forward as best you can a few cuss words are in order.

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.
