Not that anyone has implied or stated so, but after reading my earlier post I realized it could be misunderstood as insensitive to those who have been in much worse accidents then mine. Believe me, I meant nothing to that effect. I don't take for granted the use of my hands and legs and the fact that I don't have any pins in my bones, unlike some people who have been in severe accidents. I just wanted to clarify this and I hope I didn't offend anyone. I just felt the need to vent.
