I've got friends and family checking up on this thread, people from work, people young and old, my grandfather, my lil cousins.....I'm a cripple, and you post up boobies??!!! Hey Michele, Gwen and Stacy - great to hear from you guys!!! And thanks for the congrats. I hope you guys are all doing well Today was the most down I've been for a while, and i didnt really even know why either. Strange. I guess I saw myself in the mirror this morning about to take a shower and I didnt exactlly like seeing myself in a chair like that. A few hugs later and I felt ok. In fact its been a good day. I think its ok to go a bit up and down here and there, that was just a short little downer. I went to councilling later in the day with 10 other guys in chairs. There were all in a far miserabler place than I was. seriously, these guys all were on serious downers. I felt realy bad for them, and didnt say much. I am so thankful I am not taking this minor ailment like they all are. And thanks for the continued well wishes everyone, aand ignore these horndogs....I cannot appologize enough for them. They're only like that cos they know I cant kick their asses from my McChair. But when I get walking again, I will poke them with my walking stick....:up:
So how fast does the chair go? Can you hop it up with a Power Commander or anything? Still prayin for ya, buddy.
Well I got a new chair today, slightly down on power, but the handling is much sharper. There is another guy here that paralysed himself in a car race, we are getting ready for a bike vs car race....I need more practice, but I recon I can take him....:up:
You're in my thoughts every day Mark. I'm glad God has given you the strenght to keep your head high through this difficult time. I'll keep praying for you.
Mark..... Hellllooo??? You are sounding more normal now than since this whole thing happened. Of course you are going to get depressed. Dear God, most people would be curled up in a fetal position crying like a little girl. I know I would. The difference between you and them is that YOU have the attitude and the support system to pull yourself out of the funk and push on!!! If anyone can come out of this walking it is you!!! If not, then you and everyone else will know you gave it everything you have. Talked to your dad in the office yesterday. He is soooo proud of you and the way you are handling this thing. Can't get any bigger kudos than that right??!?! As for you friends on this web site? They are great. Tell me, where did they get that picture of me??? Wanted to stop by and see you on my way to the airport on Friday. You sound awful busy though. Is there a good time to come?? Karen
Newbies ok, ok, don't expect any bikini shots like the previous photos!!!! The first pic is of (of course) Mark, Michele, Gina, Gina's sister and Nelson while in Las Vegas 11/05 the second pic is of Michele and Gina, both married but somehow are starting to feel like WERA groupies Still praying for you Mark. We hope today is a good day
