As some readers have left comments to my Aug post as to how can i win and lose at the same time... OK, i could go on and on but i shall not. I won in that i came out of it with my life and lost a lot of other things. Can these two be in an equal balance? The answer to that is something I'm sure i'll take to my grave to be answered in whatever the hereafter has to say to that. i won by meeting all kinds of people i may have not, me hopefully being the better for it.! i hope. the things i've lost are my ability to walk and do those things most of you reading won't be able to understand how one stays sane not doing what i used to take for granted. i do hope I'm still sane... Don't get me wrong, I've wondered and yes wished what if... but that gets you nowhere fast. i also met my Nancy! truly my earth angel. Would i have been happy to have my mobility back and never to have known her? In my opinion I never thought that Christopher Reeves had fully grasped his disability. hoping that he'd be saved by some miracle in stem cell research. [hey, maybe some day, but i don't think it'll be soon. He didn't HAVE to die either from what i understand. At least not from an infection from a bed sore. But that'd be another post now wouldn't it?
