Thanks for the words of wisdom. My uncle was born paralyzed from the waist down and has been living that way for 40 years. Last year he lost his leg after he broke it by falling from his chair. The doctors put the wrap on it too tight, circulation was cut off, and so his leg had to be as well.

Because of this he's been really down in the dumps, as people look at him now as a freak because of something that was never his fault. It's a shame because he is a really nice guy and I'm proud to call him my uncle. I'll mention what you said here to him, and maybe it can change his perception on this personal tragedy. Thanks so much.

How do you push yourself to accomplish tasks that can be difficult for someone with your condition? Any advice to others with your condition?

Thanks for doing this AMA!
