Welcome to Discussions

I'm a 31 y/o incomplete quad. I live in Asheville, NC. I'd like to be able to talk to people like me.

I am a quadrapligic with good use of my right side and limtid use of my left. I am in an electric wheelchair but the help I need is to get up and get down, showering, geting on the toilet, cooking and house keeping. I am on my own most of the day and at night. I own a cat and he likes to sleep with me. I go to school because I like to talk to people and I am an artist and I get inspiration from being around other artists. I am as self sufficient in any way I can be. Tom

It took a while for me but I can get up & down by myself now. I cook, clean, & take care of 7 y/o daughter.  I recently learned to drive & it is absolutely the best thing ever. I, for the most part, love my life. I just wish I knew more people I could relate to.

C/5 6 Here also incomplete  Got hurt while on vacation visiting a friend in Fayeteville NC. I am very independent and can do all of my own care except putting on my socks and trimming my toenails. My right hand/arm is strong but not so much my left. I also have almost no trunk strength. I used to drive with hand controls but drink so much now I gave up driving before I hurt myself or someone else. I am from Ohio and still have a 4 wheeler ATV I ride. I am a senior in colege. It is very nice to meet you and feel free to write me back. From the looks of your picture you have just as much ink as I have scars. I don't have any tattoos but am considering acquiring some more scars before I die. I have always liked tattos but just never got one. The scars just seemed to keep coming naturally so I decided to go ahead and collect them. 30/m --Greg
