I can completely understand how you feel ! Our car wreck was August 3rd 1997. I was 40 and now i'm 55 years old. This morning we were both struggling to get up get going another day, My wife was in the accident with me and is my sole caregiver, She gets severe migraine headaches from the accident and must work full time plus take care of me and a grandson we must raise. My 1st 10 years as a quad was heavenly compared to now . lol, I feel like i'm like a feeble older 80 plus year old man at times. I guess all we can do is try to stay positive, focus on the good things we have or can enjoy--I think we all gotta be tough mentally.......We are not alone, as many of the quads on here face similar trials of life. Stay strong ! like I have found out thru the years-----things could always be worse than most current situations, even when that seems hard to imagine at times. I have seen quads on T.V. in forein countries that are so poor they must be pulled around in a wagon because the terrain is bad and can't afford wheelchairs. When I think of poor folks like that...I realize how blessed I am. Dan H.* C-6
