Will you people whom do not have TM along with being quads please
create a site of your own and use it. You are breaking into a site for people
who have a disease called Transverse Myelitis, and unless you have it, I
feel you ought not be here because you will never understand the things we
talk about. Some of the topics you will be able to relate to, simply
because you are paralyzed or have a similar disability, but you ought to
create a
site for Quads all of your own.
I am sorry for saying these things. I wish I didn't feel the way I do.
Those of you with Transverse Myelitis, stay...the rest of you, please begin
your own web site and do not clutter up the TM Site. It very well may
confuse a person with new TM who needs a place to go to find solace, to vent
their anger, to find the exact same people who have the same problems as they
do.
This a TRANSVERSE MYELITIS site...not simply for paraplegics,
quadriplegics, or people with diseases similar to ours. Unless you have
Transverse
Myelitis, you do not belong here.
I am sorry that I feel this way. I don't even know why I feel so strongly
about this. It seems that I am the only person on our site who feels this
way since no once has written in to back me up.
Regardless, I feel that you ought to have your own site and that means
that it is time for you to create your own site, and move on.; Please respect
our site.
Thank you quads,
I love you,
Jude...Wait a minute. I just went back to see where you had
addressed your email and it is addressed to a site that is not this one. I
wonder why all of your mail is being sent to out site.?
Please accept my apology for all of the things I have said. I am so
sorry. Why didn't one of you come on board to correct me?
With my deepest regrets,
Jude, (big mouth)

Hey Dana quadriplegics on 35 yrs. I'm only at 10yrs July 31. I, too, have
been pretty healthy.( I'm a c6-7 quad. I can't stay still for long plus I
do get in a manual as often as possible mainly for excercise and to keep my
weight down. I went from 205 to 125 now holding at 130. I've broken my
right leg 3 times ( shoot almost can't keep count) LOL Mainly from trying
things, but if you don't try, how will you know if you can, right.) For those
of you who don't know me.
By the way I'm about to be a grandma, my daughter is 7 mos and its a girl
(woohoo) I'm so excited.
Oh Dana by the way What I'm worried the most about the medicare/medicaid
is they (government)want to stop in-home care.
One thing I have heard is The Governor of Texas is really looking into the
healthcare, like he did the stimulus thing. He didn't take all the money
only enough to help the unemployment and welfare n few other things. What I
don't understand with the Healthcare is with its hard enough with getting
things with medicare/ medicaid I hope and pray they don't screw it up worse.

Life's greatest accomplishments are those that at first seem impossible and
No one can know what they can do until they try.

congrats on being a tuff ol' goat DAANO. I've had only one close call
with a uti - I've been unusually healthy since 5-24-1967. yupper 42 years.
(I had to think for a minute of the exact date - that's gotta tell you
something ) looks like this sci stuff isn't nearly as deadly as one might
think.

I can't believe I made it to my 35 th year anniversary. My parents were
told after each hospitalization I might not make. It seems I was strong
enough to defeat their predictions even though I appeared to be weak at the
time. I was given a tracheostomy after each of my surgeries, but it was
removed before I came home. I had so many long hospitalizations trying to get
off the ventilator and over pneumonia. I was given another tracheostomy
during a pneumonia in 88, which they changed to a trach button before I
left the hospital. It has kept me out of the hospital except for a UTI that
got into my bloodstream causing a coma for 13 days. I had a pneumonia
last year. The trach buttonallows me to get over the bronchitis at home. I
didn't want it, but it turned out to be a good thing for me and not very
noticeable. It is mostly capped, unless I have a lot allergies or
congestion and might need suctioned as needed. It is easy
