Joan, I like your observations. Good Press, Bad Press is all  good.  It 
get people thinking and perhaps, asking. Conversations can  clarify the 
differences between individuals, including Paras and Quads.   What will you say 
when approached by someone who says, "I just saw a movie about  a Quad... 
is that how it is?"
How will you respond ?
 
Atta Girl Joan !
 
Best Wishes

Everybody that lives as a quad has a different situation. The most important 
factor is a support system. Some of us have tons of support and some have very 
little. In any case we all still have life and we try to do the best we can 
with what we have left. The guy with the crushed legs is no different, he is 
doing the best with what he has. Life is for the living and we all are still 
among the living striving to make the best outcome we have. Is a blind person 
worse off than a quad? Is a person with aids better off than a para? Who really 
knows, we are just a group of quads here trying to help each other with one 
issue at a time. Ive had great times as a quad and horrible. At this moment Im 
in pain and trying not to take more pills than I need to. I did complete my 
power cycle this week and Im going to go on a big adventure this week 
regardless. Im trying to find good still as often as I can.

I feel rather differently about living life as a quadriplegic.  None of us is 
able to know what other people do behind closed doors, nor do we know what 
pain, suffering, and agony other people go through.

  I have a friend who I feel has it much more difficult than I do.  True, he 
has use of all of his limbs, and he can walk with the help of a walker.  
Because of an injury to his legs where they were totally crushed, he is in 
constant pain which has not responded to any of the treatments.  He is only 35, 
was an agriculture teacher who was chosen as one of the state’s outstanding 
teachers.  He is no longer able to work, has four children who can’t understand 
what happened to daddy.  He tries so hard to keep involved in his children’s 
lives, be a great husband to his wife, but in recent months has lost over 60 
pounds, cannot sleep more than an hour at a time.  He’s not a quadriplegic, but 
I will take my life over his.

Would I choose to be a quadriplegic!  Absolutely not.  But im one, I hate many 
aspects of this life, but I have chosen to make the best of it.  I look up to 
all of you who have been quad so many many years, Bobbie, Nan, Lori, and too

Re: [QUAD-L] New spinal cord injury movie

[RONALD L PRACHT]

The biggest thing people or the movies don't get is that not walking is the 
least of a paralyzed individuals problems and everybody isn't paralyzed from 
the waist down. Most also believe that people that can move their arms a little 
are not quads. The movie is fun to watch but doesn't show any of the 
nitty-gritty rubber glove work that's involved with quadriplegia and that's ok 
because very few would watch a real life quad movie. People don't want to know 
the truth.
