Ok, here goes.
I am old and crusty. I was injured diving into a swimming hole at age 16 in 1975. You can do the math to figure out my age now. Those were the dark ages of SCI injuries. Ended up with a C8 level type of function. I didn't learn anything in rehabilitation at the time except not to get pressure sores. Was a little slow getting going with new lifestyle. Was doing ok with it until a few years ago when I fail backwards in wheelchair and fractured C5 and C6 vertebrae. It was not a fun experience. Went through rehabilitation again and had a short experience with a nursing home. Did not like that at all. Have much of my strength back, but don't seem to have the same energy as before. I will supply more information when asked.
By the way, in all my years I have never met a devote.

Glad to have you here. Hope you stick around to learn and engage with us!
There is a good chance you have met a dev before but she was too nervous to tell you!

You're welcome mutt59! You would probably not know. Many, if not most of us, have been conditioned to feel shame for our devness and fear the reactions of PWD if we were to tell them. I have a good friend who is a quad and he has no idea to this day that I am a dev. And thank you for the compliment!

Yes, re-welcome. What brings you back? Not sure I understand your question. I have never been a member of this message board before. Just found it recently after doing a search for "devotee women looking for men in wheelchairs". Did the search after watching a YouTube video of a girl in a wheelchair venting about the "problem" of devotee guys being attached to her because of her disability. Have looked at many videos there related to handicapped driving, wheelchairs, and such. Matisse and I met online in a now defunct chatroom and massage board that was associated with New Mobility magazine. The place was shut down I believe because people were using multiple usernames and just plain nastiest towards others on the message board. I was never a big poster on the message board, but spent a lot of time in the chatroom. It had gotten to the point that no matter what the subject of your message board post was related too, you would be attacked personally. I had actually met some of people who posted and chatted there. One of those people I lived near for awhile, had socialized with a number of times, is very anti devotee, and she seemed make it her mission to attack just about everyone on something, or other on the New Mobility massage board. In person she seemed "ok", but I thought from the first time I met her that she was batass crazy. Luckily I was was never in a relationship with her. To everyone that has welcomed me here, Thank you very much.

My apologies mutt59 since you and matisse were familiar I thought perhaps you had been a past member who was returning (it happens around here on occasion). Anyway, enjoy your time here! I'd like to think we're less hostile than the other message board you mentioned but we've had our own moments of hostility toward each other
