Welcome all. This is the first posting of A Paralyzed Life. I'll be discussing issues faced by those with spinal cord injuries and how we overcome or adapt to them in order to achieve a life worth living.
I'll also be linking to a lot of interesting articles on people living extraordinary lives, products and services that make our lives better and medical advancements leading to the cure I believe will happen in my lifetime.
I've lived with paralysis since an automobile accident in 1986, at the age of 19, leaving me a C6/C7 quad. Could be worse, could be better. I'm 40 now and been in a chair for more years than I was out of one. More about me should anyone care to know. I don't know about you, but after spending months in the hospital and rehab, I think more people have seen me naked than Pamela Anderson! So much for being shy and private.
For now, I'd like you to read about Molly Fausone, a remarkable young lady who I think will inspire you: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-temkin07dec07,1,6119072,full.story?ctrack=2&cset=true
