It is also April Fool's Day and (allegedly) the day of Jesus' zombification. It's been 6 years. I like to celebrate the gift of life and how lucky I am. The celebration started Friday and continued to 5am this morning so I think today I'm just going to relax. Does anybody else celebrate, or does it make you feel sad/weird? I bet some people don't even notice it's their anniversary sometimes.

You are a lot more positive than me someonerandom - credit it to you. It's 33 yrs since I was involved in an RTA and I detest 2nd September - doubt I'll every get over it.

It is maybe easier for me to be positive than some people. I have a luxury disability (paraplegia), and pretty much won the demographic lottery with my birth, so I mostly live a privileged existence other than paraplegia and (currently arrested) drug addiction. I feel very happy that my injury was low-level and did not hurt my brain or my face at all, and I had insurance to pay the hospital bills. By all accounts I should be dead or bankrupt. I wish you peace. 33 years is a long time to not get over something, but I guess there are things in life that are like that, like the loss of a child or parent. Maybe there's just different degrees of getting over something, and it never quite reaches 0 but approaches it for infinity like an asymptote. |

It's a cool way of looking at your situ that you see your paraplegia as being a luxury! Good man, sound thinking! I guess I could say being C6 is a damn bit better off than a higher legion but 'maybe' we'd all like a little extra in life. I can, at least, say I've had a good life so far and gave it a good shot. I will attempt to take inspiration from your outlook and see where it takes me... |

38 years for me, and t's a mixed bag of good n bad emotions come Feb 22nd. On one hand, I'm terribly blessed by luck on many levels; on the other, being a quad c4-c6 is fucking crazy. But like I was teling someone today, I'm sooooo happy I had my 2nd life...i grad college, worked 17 years, recorded and played out for many years as musician. I can drive. I own the best looking house in neighbrhood, live in best place in America and I've ad a pretty rocking life. Not easy, but rocking! I'm going to be 60 this year, still digging my life. Celebrate everyday with a bourbon n dr pepper. lol

22 years for me this summer. I used to dread it, then I decided to let myself feel shitty on that day. Then after a few years I purposely distracted myself on the day. The last few years, I don't really give it a thought. I forgot last year until the next day. Maybe I'm getting alzheimer's?
