I got it at 21, so I fully understand its a second birthday. actually its 
appropriate to celebrate it because without modern technology you and all of us 
would of been dead shortly after the accident. B4 world war 2 I think I read a 
spinal cord injured person lived about 2 years in bed. So do a lap around the 
hood just because you can Larry!!

I'm glad you're ALL around. I really enjoy the stories, information and 
camaraderie of this forum.

I like what Quadius said about accentuating the positive. Awesome!

My anniversary is in August, but I honestly cannot remember the date. I don't 
celebrate it or mourn it, really. But, it will be 32 years this year. 

Best wishes everyone!

I just celebrated my 19th year of being able to breathe without a
ventilator. August 6, 1995.

I was injured in early April, but I like to celebrate August 6.
Accentuate the positive.
