No idea, but that's something I hadn't even considered, haha. I guess I have to have to cum as much as possible in the next decade! My husband will be thrilled :D

I appreciate the sentiment, but I really don't feel lucky.

Yes, that is what my husband says :D I went to the People In Motion show (an exhibition for people with accessibility/mobility issues) a few days ago here in Toronto, and saw some cool stuff they already have. Wheelchairs with treads on them to go off-roading! Chairs that can stand you up! Prosthetic arms with fingers that can help you hold things, that attach onto your wheelchair arm!

There has not been any studies that I or my partner have been able to find, but I'm meeting with the neurologist later this month and will be discussing that with them.

I'm scared. I see what my dad deals with, and I'm going to go down the same path. As debilitating as it all is physically, the hardest thing for him (I think) is that he is mentally completely fine - in fact, sharper than he was before because he spends so much of his time now reading and writing and whatnot. Being treated like he's mentally disabled because he's in a wheelchair infuriates him, but there's not much he can do about it because his speech is so heavily affected as are his motor skills. All of that is going to be me. On the other hand, his independence is very inspirational. I worry that I will get angry and resentful, and since finding this out, I have definitely had some moments of deep despair.

But out of that fear and sadness and the sort-of timeline has come a sense of resolution too, i think - I'm very keen to travel, to explore new places, and try new things because eventually i won't physically be able to. It's definitely lit a bit of a fire under my ass.

Thank you :) That's exactly what I'm doing. I have quit smoking, I'm eating better, and I'm working out - I've decided that if I have 10-15 years left in a fully working body, this is not the body I really want. I mean I'm fine with it and all, but I think I can do better :)
