Wow..



...you're 36? Welcome to the old farts club!

Seriously though, I think that's probably the toughest way to lose the use, IMO. At least with a severe injury I would think you would come to terms with it a lot quicker. Sorry mate.

I assume with new technologies there might be some hope?

Yeah, I'm an old fart that refuses to grow up. It wasn't easy to get over but there's nothing really to be bitter about: I have no one or nothing to blame. So in a way, I'm better off than if I had a definitive reason to point at. Some spinal cord injury cats sit around bitchin' about this or that, "that guy that did this to me" and that's their life.

I don't know. If government and other groups got out of the way, if an unending supply of money was poured into it, we might find out faster. But that's not the way things work. At this point with the way things are moving, I'd be surprised if they had a therapy/procedure before we all bit the big one. I'm not worried about it though. If it comes, it comes. If it doesn't, oh well... I'm not losing sleep over it.

Thats a good attitude

Just the way my mind works......... and the reason i cannot ever bring myself to believe in God or religion etc, far too many assholes in the world living the high life while decent folk have it hard...... fucks me right off. Thanks for sharing that though mate

You still playing guitar btw? I had a blast on the SG last night, first time in ages! Damn i was rusty My left wrist actually started to hurt after about 15-20 mins

No worries. Yeah I'm still playing. Actually, I'm starting to play with a lot more frequency nowadays. I'm actually doing picking and finger exercises again. My speed and accuracy is getting better again.

Doctors aren't exactly sure. They call it Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis. My legs just went away. It happened July 5th 1992. I was 17 years old. It was the summer before my senior year in high school. I had just moved to Georgia from New Jersey the year before. I had gone back up to Jersey for a week to spend time with family and friends, I was staying at my cousin's house, who incidentally lived 3 houses down the street from the house I grew up in. Anyway, we played Volleyball all day and when it was done, my legs had pins and needles in them. I went to take a shower, ate dinner, then laid down to take a nap, figuring I'd give my legs a rest. I woke up 2 hours later in excruciating pain... felt like somebody was pouring a constant stream of liquid nitrogen over my legs. The pain was moving up my body reallly slowly. I thought it wouldn't stop and I was gonna die. Long story short, I went to the hospital, they told me I was paralyzed but they couldn't figure out why. Close to 20 years later, here I am.

Wow DGX - I've never heard of that. Thanks for sharing that info, I noted that in the past that you said that you were in a chair.

Complaint #3

Over all the years I've seen a lot of disgusting things in/on cars, rotting deer guts,car owners who are complete pigs, water soaked trunks starting to mold, ETC. (fun fact: deer normally shit themselves when hit by a car) I've built up a pretty good tolerance to the above, plus all the dust and chemicals tend to numb the sense of smell a bit over time...

...I've found my limit.


Finally came across a car this week that I flat out refused to get into and move because it grossed me out too much. It was a 2011 Malibu with 40K on it. The entire interior and especially the back seat was covered in crusty pungent stains.
I'm telling you, my first thought upon seeing/smelling this YEAR OLD car was this broad must make a living traveling to truck stops giving handjobs for crack.

Turns out I probably want far off. I didn't see her but she was described as nasty looking, tits hanging to her beltline and tweaking out like those severe addicts on the intervention shows. She also swore up and down that every scratch on the car was caused by the minor front left impact, including the rocker molding she had gotten an estimate on 3 months prior. Fucking people.....


Bonus, not for the easily offended:

 

She vanished for a few days while we had her car, when she finally showed up she was telling the estimator that she'd just had a miscarriage and that's why she had been unavailable. The estimator tells me the next morning "she had a miscarriage" My immediate response was "In the backseat?!"

Yep. I don't really mind talking about it. It doesn't bother me... well, except for all the typing. That's a pain in the ass.

Wow, no idea what happened at all? Even now? After Jackie (Our daughter) got hit, we had our own escapades with a wheelchair, but you've been dealing with this for 20 years. I admit, until she was in one I had never thought about things like shopping or building access. I'm ashamed to say I took it all for granted. The reasons you give for the car you chose also makes sense. My husband had to lift her in & out of our truck. Doing it her self? No way.

I have complaints. My first complaint is... I don't even know where to start. *smirk*

You're one of the strongest people I've ever met.I know you don't have much of a choice, but I have yet to hear you bitch about your situation.You bitch about everything else ....that's more of an 'us' thing.
