Re: [QUAD-L] 29th quad anniversary
I was 15 when my accident happened. October 19th 1979. I am 38 1/2 years post. I have been very fortunate until the last two years. Before that, however, the worst things that have happened to me (and very very bad) started by a doctor or nurse doing something wrong making me almost die or put me in bed close to 3 years. Now, I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer whereby the small tumor was removed on the wall of my bladder but need to consider having my bladder removed to avoid any cancer cells that can be lingering around spread and I date my bladder or female organs. I was doing great until I no longer lived with family of any kind. ~Lori On Thu, May 17, 2018 at 4:47 PM, Jim Lubin wrote: > Today marks the 29th year that I have survived the effects from Acute > Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis!
