I've been trying to explain this to others for most of my adult life. You've done it in a few sentences. Bravo!

As a fellow paraplegic (since birth) & wheelchairian, I can tell you that this will never stop you.

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, and a good attitude towards everything. Don't let things make you bitter. I made that mistake.

I saw that someone brought up racing chairs. Here's a couple of links for you:

Ninja Edit: If you ever feel the need, there are always people to chat with who have similar sitations. Drop me a message anytime.

You may also want to look into wheelchair basketball. It's fun and a great way to stay mobile.

Thanks for doing this AMA!

I am a paraplegic, and am married to an "able-bodied" woman. This has added different dynamics to our relationship that may be encountered in others. Therefore, I'd be interested to see what you have to say about the following:

  • Have you or your wife ever gone through any periods of depression as a result of the things that you need to do for her because she is just physically able?

  • How far have you gone to see things from your wife's perspective? Have you ever tried to do the things she does AS SHE does them post-injury?
