jmar - I could probably drive if I wanted to, but I just don't need a car at the moment since I can walk everywhere I need to get to and gas is expensive, lol. (gotta save up that money to pay Mayo, hahahahaha) Tom - I think you misunderstand me. I'm generally a happy person. I don't feel bad about ...

Wow, I love hearing about (and seeing) these marathons you're all running. I've always wanted to be a runner, but I just don't have the right mindset, lol, though one thing I really miss is the ability to just run as as fast as possible for a minute or two just for the feeling. This relay sounds lik...

Hey armstrong, my dad suffered a stroke from trauma from the accident and he isn't the same man at all anymore. I COMPLETELY understand what it's like to see your dad completely change almost overnight, and how draining it is (physically, AND emotionally) to care for someone you love whose in that c...

I usually go the the gym and between my and knee and my arm, I only use 3 machines, but I use them we...

I wish I could help more, but I don't take any meds now. My pain is usually pretty manageable. Right now my issue is simply getting enough sleep. I'm not kept awake by pain, but it's like my body just can't get comfortable enough to stay in REM sleep for more that 2-3 hours at a time, no matter how ...

Wow, very interesting. I don't take it anymore, but I remember when I did it felt like I was taking a bazillion pills a day, lol. This would really make it so much easier to work into one's daily life. Keep us updated if you get to try it.

Hello and welcome to the site. Glad you found it. Like most of us on here, you guys have really been through A LOT. I had multiple major body injuries like your husband, though I have him beat at 36 units of blood, lol ( not an award anyone wants to win. ) It's pretty amazing that they were able to ...

Hey, I just got an email from my shoulder doctor from Mayo who was at the same meeting and he said you guys did an excellent job. Keep up the great work! :) He also showed a new video of me that we just shot last week to show some of my progress. Did you get to see it? I didn't realize it was going ...
