BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE TOOK THE TIME , NO ONE'S TO BLAME
There was a time that I remember well , that I lay in my bed , a bed where I had slept as a different man , in the house where that able man had lived and I looked across the room at a book that I wanted to read , I had read it long before , had enjoyed it but it was not out of need for it that I suffered . It was the frustration of being now unable to go and get it , would I always have to ask others to get a t...hing for me that was only a few feet away ? Or would I one day overcome the fear of trying to do it for myself ?

I wrestled with this often back then and did so until one day it became too much , When I felt the height of that frustration and had to try or explode I tried . At first it was by working my way into the wheelchair and then retrieving what I wanted and eventually using the quad cane and walking over to do it .
These days , I am most likely walking over without the straight cane I use and trying to carry the item back in my affected hand . A goal set to a stubborn enough person is a goal achieved . We are stronger than we realize my dear fellow survivors , we are still here . Phil.
