You know I've read all the books there are on the subject and am just waiting for that 'moment' to get into the chair I bought in the Spring, but what was the biggest adjustment. What was the first year like, not being nosey just wanting to know what I have facing me down the line

Frame,

I'll drink (1 cold beer) to your getting out of bed and becoming mobile! That's worth celebrating.

Freedom, keep it coming,

it was pretty crazy. i was doing fine going to work etc then i just woke up completely paralyzed. it was tough, but ive regained some stomach muscles, so i can sit up straight w/o falling over. im 25 now, so at first i felt like i REALLY got screwed, but it was pretty easy getting used to it. you can probably tell im not very good at putting words together, i kinda jump from thought to thought these days. but yeah i wouldnt really say that its 'facing you down the line' you might be fine. who knows. ms is a fickle ***** :)


and yeah, score with the wine!

oh yeah that was the other thing i was thinking about replying to. heh. AZ had a few record days. it was terrible.
i live in northern arizona every other week (i drive down to phoenix to work) so half of the summer was pretty nice. i wish i wouldve gotten my windows tinted though. the place i work in doesnt have AC in the front area where i was, so it was pretty terrible. my left arm would constantly go numb, and im left handed, so my boss complained a lot :0
heat just tears me apart. now that winters coming, im dreading the snow/ice. my dog takes advantage of the fact that i slide around easily, and he's a big *******.
