Re: [QUAD-L] Researchers have grown a beating heart in a jar.

Another Rat success story! 18 years post here and I've heard every success story possible demonstrated on a Rat. If we were rats we'd be walkin. Too bad 4 us...nothing ever seems to get to human trials. Could it be that there's less money in a cure then in the current list of industries depend

Gaday Mates: I am wondering if my connection with the list has been severed? Two days have passed now and not one posting has been received in my email. Or, everyone has already tired of my diatribe and stopped writing. (grin). Seriously, I was just thinking about those of us who lead an en

[QUAD-L] Our Relationship With Others

Very well put W. I am a high level quad and I need help doing most things. The average AB can't recognize those of us quads or paras that need help and those that don't. Since I'm one of those quads that do need a lot of help, I'm always happy when someone opens a door or picks up something I dr

Re: [QUAD-L] Dr. William Heft--Our Relationship With Others

How different we all are. If someone wants to help me, I just step back and let them proceed. I know I can open a door or remove my jacket - after 40 years in this, I don't feel the need to prove anything to myself any more. People who offer to help really need to do so for some inner

Re: [QUAD-L] Our Relationship With Others

Im a c7 fairly functional quad, I remember an instance where I pulled up to a gas pump with my van for the sole purpose to see if I could gas my van up in a emergency. I got out and the first challenge was getting the credit card out of the slot once i pushed it in. Immediately some guy stopped

Around the house it’s not so bad, as I have things set up for me and I can move along at my own pace, but when I go out shopping by myself, it’s another ballgame. There are only a few handicapped door openers around that I ca
