Thanks to all of you for the comments and e-mails you have sent me . It was mentioned by someone about Christopher Reeves and what a insporation he is, well, when that was brought up mu brother was reading these forums off the screen with me as well as his fiancee was there as well. They left and returned a couple of hours later with a disk and book in hand, They went to Costco and Aimee spotted a book for me and they bought it Kris scanned the front cover, saved it to disk so I could take it from drive a to my Gallerie. So far I' am at chapter 3 and what a good book it is. There is a point mentioned that a friend of mine (also in a wheelchair) said, get that thought out of your head it isn' t that bad or worth dying over. See when you are told you are never going to walk again and you have a 20' incision in your back as well as a web of tubes and cords attached to you you think "oh great I think it is time to end it. You feel selfish and shameful and this is gods way of punishing me for being a bad person". This is not the case they tell me and everything is going to be fine.

We all continue to wish you the best. Just look at Christopher Reeves...he believes he will walk again...just a matter of time. Making progress on stem cells and the such daily.

Mark.

 

Keep it up fella... you are an inspiration and a witness to everyone.

Thanks for all the nice comments, I have finished that book now and am starting on a book by noel mc carthy (novelm) .

 

Glad to see your keeping your head up. No reason to hang it. Keep you spirit high and good things will follow. Stay in touch

 

hey, not to be obscene or cruel or anything.. did you get pics of the truck? i gotta see how much damage it takes to knock one of our members down..

hope you get outta the hospital soon!!!

 

My Lawyers do not want myself or my family or friends to intervien with the accident, being it is very sonfusing and there are 3 other parties involved in this grand slam, two in which being hospitalized (me by far the worst). After the dust has settled I' am going to post alot of pics on the wreck includeing the complete accident scene that my Brother and dad had taken after they were called. The way they found wou is whon I got hit I just came from Kindopps Printing with a new box of business cards and Invoices, Well you can imagine were all the cards were 1000 little business cards all over the place that is how they knew to call my office and Karen called Dad and Kris whom both work for me. In my fleet of 13 F-350 s/c trucks I make it mandatory that everyone carries a disposeable camera, there is lots at the shop and man, those have saved me from paying for windshields, accident whitness, and my own case dad took 48 pictures.
