    • Oh dear: This is my first reply to a post here on this site and already those initial p's threw me for a looI guess those are for the above colored icon line ?taskbar"? 
      I am in a motorized wheelchair since 2003 thanks to the generosity of MDA.  I have adult onset Pompe's Muscular Dystrophy and the doctor has me labelled as a paraplegic with quadriparesis.  I am in a delightful stage of denial.  I had no idea how screwed up I have become until I filled out a questionnaire for a research project.                                           It appears that my caretakers in this nursing home have developed me into an almost totally helpless person, but all I focus on is what I CAN do instead of what I can't do.  That would get me bawling and depressed instead of my current hopefulness and looking forward to the future.   I am 67 and yet have managed to find a cyber "boyfriend".                                     I can wax eloquent for hours so I better shut up since this box is now full.  I am the most honest and openly blunt person that I have ever met.  My two very most favorite subjects that are frequently avoided by most are sex and religion.  Nice to meet you all.  And I hope you are pleased at having met so many people in your same circumstances.                Love, bobbie jeanne  The Lord bless you and keep you and make his face to shine upon you and give you peace (which has been turned into a lovely song if you know it.)

    • I will never give up sex it isn't in my nature. Well I have been in a wheelchair since 1999 and I have learned a few things. When I came out of my coma my parents who were liveing in Washington and came down to California and took me with them back to Washington. My younger brother was a nurse in a nurseing home and that is were they dropt me off. I have been an aide and I have been a resident in nurseing homes and for me a nuseing home is just like jail. I don't blame any one for me ending up there but I beleave that nurseing homes kill people. I was a very sick boy and for a wile I needed supervision. When I got out of the nurseing home I went back to to collage and now I am the tresurer for a non profit oganization called DATO. We fix or buy people wheelchairs, for those who fell through the cracks and need this service. I live in a small town and there are few job's I can get, but for my family and freinds I do alrite, I can't complane. And now you know me or at least some of what I think good or bad, it's all up to you know one else. My email is teads@olypen.com. Tom

    • Hey "lil",

      Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Amy, but I go by handicapable on Disaboom.  It takes much courage to step out and I'm very proud of you!  I am quite new to Disaboom myself as I just happened to stumble upon it viewing Christianblogs.com.  My diagnosis is Spina Bifida.  I am a paraplegic at the T12 level.  You are welcomes to email me at any time.  My email addie is:  bluebutterfly114bchmy@yahoo.com.  Welcome to Disaboom and God's richest blessings in life.  If you choose to write me I will share some more personal details about career, love life, ministry, etc.  Until then...

      Amy
