It is very interesting to see how everybody in this group has accomplished to adapt to the new life styles. It's been fourteen years since my car accident, I was a victim of a drunk driver at the age of 19. My injury is C6 level. I was a very active person I played sports All my middle school and highschool. I am now 34 years old. I graduated from college and now live independently. My field is film industry. I have a crew of employees that go out to and do the filming for me. I use Macintosh computers to edit and produce the final cut. I love what I do. Just recently for the first time I developed a pressure sore, it is definitely not a fun experience. I have been proud of myself for not having one for fourteen years, but there is always a first time for everything. I have already taken the necessary steps for the healing process. I like this group very much, it is informative, constructive, inspiring, comforting and above all friendly. I want to address a few posts that I have been reading for a few weeks now. Number one; I used a ROHO cushioned seating system (air cells) it works wonders, but five months ago I've changed seat cushions (bad choice) I wanted to see if there was Room for improvements, I believe that I should have followed the old saying if it ain't broke don't try to fix it I went to another seating cushion that had parts that were made out of hard foam. that was a really bad choice. so now I am paying for it. Number two; I drive a minivan for five years now, have not had any accidents, I am very very careful now more than before. I have driven six hours and that is the maximum I will drive per day at a time that way I would not get tired and risk it. I do like the IDea of a new type of vehicle although they are very expensive specially the convertible that I want PT cruiser. hopefully business will pick up and might just be able to get it. I would like to someday personally meet all of you. it is great to have many friends, I will continue this posts later on today. For now this is all I will write, I have a few things that take care of and I will be back, you guys rock! Sincerely, Eddie

Re: [QUAD-L] Hello everybody
Hi Eddie, Welcome (again) to the Quad-List. It sounds like you are doing okay with yourself. I hope we get the chance to share thoughts on life after a SCI, and other interests. I'm 53, a C 4/5, almost 31 years post. I'm a father and grandfather now, too. You take care and stay strong.
