wow this kinda blew me away, i wasn't expecting that many details and feelings.

it's strange and almost uncomfortable seeing you like this. I'm not sure if you're thinking, if you are uncomfortable talking about it, because you look like a huge sad question mark.

But still is gives a great insight.

It's more like I was trying to remember. That time in my life is a bit fuzzy sometimes.

5-1-99 I was rearended by an off duty cop. He broke my neck c3-c7, I had tetrapalegia for 2 weeks, and like you I received massive amounts of steroids. I got movement back and wasnt paralyzed, but for 9 years now, I've been in agonizing pain, the Drs just give me more and more codine, now I'm addicted to the stuff. Drs here do not know how to treat an injury of my severity, so bacially I'm stuck with no real Dr who knows squat about spine injury.Finally I saw your vid. Thanks man, I'm not alone.

That sucks my friend. I had to move to California to find a good Dr. It's a better state then Oregon anyway. I have constant pain every where I can't feel so I know what you mean. But mine varies in severity from day to day.

Usually your clips cheer me up. You make your paralysis seem almost incidental.

This clip was tough to watch. I assume that when you have a spinal cord injury that you have only one "if only..." moment to rehash and resent.

You, you poor dude, had too many of those moments in that first week. And the worst thing they did to you is the thing that stuck with you.

Keep sending out the broadcasts. You are my periodic antidote to the bullshit of life.

I'll do my best.

I don't know what to say...I finally watched this video plus the "16 yr old Pinkcrusader" video..I am an emotional person who can cry at a drop of hat but only because I care about people, animals etc... - I cried watching this video, but half those tears were happy ones coz' you are still here today and its for a reason - to bring some sunshine and happiness to all of us! :)

Dude, U rock, yup the pain is a bugger. I'm on Norco 10 mg & Soma. I think I'll try Houston's med center this year. San Antonio is full of idiot Drs. I know my neck better than they do, they act like idiots when I present with my injury. I scare the hell out of them. I've had hardward on all disks c3-c7. Now I'm sporting a plate at c3-c4 anterior, and a posterior cage behind C6-c7. They removed hardware with each surgery. T1 is now showing wear, oh well , here we go again! Take care my friend
