I have great respect for all of you who have made it over the 35 year mark.
I doubt very much that I will make it to 35 years as that would make me 86
years old, but who knows I still have lots of energy and I'm usually in my
chair 13-14 hours a day and sometimes more. I usually go to bed just
because my caregiver comes about 9:00 PM and leaves about 9:45 PM. I am
very grateful to have her so he even though I would like to go to bed about
11:00 PM it is not realistic. My mom lived to 91 after suffering a major
stroke when she was 77, so who can tell what will happen. I will be 22
years in October and sometimes it seems to have gone by very quickly and
sometimes not so quickly, but each year definitely is going faster. Thank
goodness for technology, cannot imagine what it would be like 75 years ago!

well, i do very little posting here but enjoy the discussions and
tribulations that we all encounter. we talk about how long someone's been
injured etc. well, i'm 41+ years but just learned that a friend in Indiana
that I've known for over thirty years has been injured for 51 years.he's
working everyday and is really a great friend and is just dealing day to day
with all of this goofy stuff that we are all somehow attracted to.
thanks for listening

Glenn, you better keep truckin' cause I am rapidly catching up with you! I
am 42 yrs. post, was wiped out at age 19, and feel like I'm 109 just about
every day. This growing old is for redwoods and sea turtles, not quads. I
think I need a percocet!
