Eric,
Next month I'll be 55 I've been mentally preparing myself for a nursing
home for years and think it's what you make it. It's not the end of the world!

Debbie,
My husband is also my soul 24/7 care giver and i don't want to out
live him either. I to believe I will need to go into a nursing home if I out
live him. I live in Northern New Jersey and if I were to go into a nursing
home I plan on moving upstate New York. Why, you might be asking, because the
care givers that would be taking care of me would be from the immediate area.
In my location that would be people from Newark which is an inner city and I
just would not be comfortable. By moving upstate New York the care givers
would be locals from a small town community, and my older brother and
youngest sister live up there.
I'm C 5,6,7 36 years post and my body is really feeling the years in the
chair. I spent all of July August in bed and just this morning was informed
that I'm going to have to wray in again at least a few weeks. Bobbie

Congratulations Joan! I am 51 years old, and I'm also a C4. I am five
years post accident. They gave me 10 years give-or-take. The quad list
sure has made me think otherwise. A lot of people have been quads past 10
years. I had always been in good shape, and still feel that I am. It's a
little scary, I don't want to out live my husband because then I won't have
a caregiver and will probably end up in a nursing home. I think that's my
greatest fear. What is your living situation?

Today is a day to celebrate. 20 years ago at 2:30 PM I fell off of some
scaffolding and fell 10 feet-that was just enough to make me a C4 complete.
But considering that I was told that I probably wouldn’t live a normal life
line time wise I have proved them wrong and plan to do so for the next 10
years at least! I have had the joy of seeing four more grandchildren-age 13
on down-and two great grandchildren. My health is excellent, I can still be
active and my favorite line is “I still haven’t figured out what I want to
be when I grow up”. So at 71 I look forward to an anticipated fantastic
next 10 years and am looking forward to all the new inventions that will
help most of us live better lives that I could have ever dreamed possible 20
years ago. Many thanks for this list, it has enabled me to learn more about
what’s new and shaking. Joan
