A very close family friend was paralyzed from the chest down over 10 years ago....
His Dr. told him "You can probably do all the things you used to do, you just have to figure out how to do it on wheels".
Well, he went back to work at the power company (as a trouble shooter instead of a lineman), still rides his Harley, got stopped for going over 100 on his bike at 1am, helped build his carport, beat the snot out of a biker in a bar, drives a tractor for his dad, plays tennis and he even got married. He has a party every year the day of his accident. And he is still the same pain-in-the-rear good ole boy he was the day the accident happened.
'cept on wheels.
god bless him
