Individual: "You are getting really good in that thing (wheelchair), before long you will forget your even in one"
Me: "Thanks"
What I really wanted to say: I don't really think I'll ever forget that I'm confined to a wheelchair. My whole world is one constant reminder of my situation. Everything I look at and everything I do reminds me of this wheelchair.
I can't really see this as a valid explanation... Visual: me laying on my back at the bottom of a long flight of stairs trying to explain to the people trying to help me get back into my chair... Oh, I'm sorry, I must have forgotten that I'm in a wheelchair.
I lived 36 years with the ability to walk and run, and don't think I'll soon forget that. I'm just praying that this will get easier as time goes by.
I know you will make this work Matt. I got your thank you note in the mail today. You are so welcome. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do. We are praying for your family and you are in our thoughts. You all have had to endure so much this last year. Stay strong!! Again, if there is anything that we can do to help, please let us know.
