Hi, Matt!

Somehow I "felt" over one of your video and it impressed me so much, that I just become a member of youtube to send you a short message;) Sorry, that my english is not really perfect but I am watching your video here in Germany and try to understand everything I hear...*gg*I only want to tell you, that your character and your charisma (<- do you use this word in english, too??) is really impressing and it touched me so much.Do not give up! Is 48 your birthday?So: Lion-keep strong;))

Makes sense to me. You said everything that is running through my head anyway. I don't know why your videos never came up in my search before on spinal cord injuries prior to today, but I'm glad they finally did. Sad that I have to find comfort through YouTube, but I thank you for sharing your story. I am such a dork that I even sent an email to Steven Hawking, just to ask him how he gets through every day and move past the frustration & pain. Anyhoo...thanks again for your time.

Why do you go through so many aides? I mean, what are they doing that's sucky?

Hi there. I had a back injury 1 year ago and have been in intense nerve pain myself. It is horrible. I feel like my back is on fire as well as my limbs. I just hope one day it will just go away. I take a lot for the pain. The emotional pain is also as tough as the physical pain. I can't do a lot that I use to. I've been reading about stem cells and hope that maybe it will be able to help me.

You're right on about being smarter than your doctors....you probably are! They don't know what it's like to be inside your body, so make them listen to you. If you don't advocate for yourself, it's harder than anything to get good medical care. Gotta love the USA!

Hey Matt,

Im currently studying occuaptional therapy and am learning about Spinal cord injuries and the affects they can have on peoples lives. Listening to your youtube videos, my heart breaks. I think life is so unfair and im so sorry. Im touched but what you say. The strength you have to say the truth. Anger is a scary thing, without learning how to release it, life can be hell. Keep going Matt, find strength in the mind. Keep workn with your mind- the one gr8 gift thats the most powerful
