I am new at this and while I am doing well by most accounts, I don't even want to get out of bed half the time, much less learn how to live in a world that seems to foreign to me.I am currently looking to find some friends who I can share experiences with.Mon, 13 Sep 2010 14:49:16 GMTtracyhttp://www.spinalcordinjury-paralysis.org/forums/Topic4414068-6638-1.aspxWell, I live in canada. I shovel my own snow, have a little diesel tractor and snowplow my own driveway as I live on 10 acres of grass and have been in a chair for over 20 years. I'm a para so some things are alittle easier for me but if I see it and I think I can do it, well I figure out how. And sometimes it doesn't happen for me but at least I tried. I've fallen off the back of a snowmobile, almost fell off a quad, got into other car accidents and a few other things that got me in trouble but am still here looking for something else. (just don't know what next) I'm 38 and I guess I'm the kind of guy that gets sick of the same things alittle quick so I have alot of unfinished buisness. Which is why I'm here. I have a few more things in life I have yet too do and not enough time too do them. Like everyone else I have a few questions and will post them as they come up or have the time as I type and talk too much as it is! If you have a question for me, lay it on me I promise too be gentle....Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:40:45 GMTBen s7k 3j7
