I want to know what killed him

 

[crab]

I'm gonna guess:

Kidneys
Lungs
Dysreflexia

 

[Babbles]

Not that I want to doubt Drudge, but it is odd that I can't find any info on Google News.

Drudge consistantly breaks stories before most news services.

 

[Babbles]

Poor guy has also broken a few 'wrong' stories as well. For the most part has a good record, but there has been a few times where he was misinformed.

 

[RossMAN]

crab,

Would you mind telling us what happened and how paralyzed you are?

[Syringer]

Time to start packing up on Superman costumes and profiting.

I hope it's not true but I won't believe it until it's on BBC, etc.

So has CBS and the New York Times.

Christopher Reeve was just in Chicago last week, some kind of fundraiser I think, so it must have been a pretty sudden development or accident that brought about his death?

typically, one would figure a creditable source would leak...hospital staff, doctor, nurse..., but i guess so many people respect the man to keep things quiet for the welfare of the family. If this is true, i give my props to those who can kept their mouths shut. many would sell this to the media.

That is really irrelevent. Every news source has screwed up.

Drudge has screwed up in the past, I am just making a point that there is a small possibility that this can be a screw up as well.

Exactly my point.

Yes, it's possible.

crab,

Would you mind telling us what happened and how paralyzed you are?

I dove into a 4ft deep pool and broke my neck when I hit the bottom. I'm a C6 level quad, my fingers are paralyzed, arms are flaky, and everything below my mid chest.

My GF was in her apt bedroom getting dressed for Teeball practice when she was 7. Apt complex lawnmower had a poorly designed peice, it feel off the deck, and shot through her window and into her neck. Shes in pretty damn good shape. A good bit better than me.

I am saddened by this. I'll have to end my night on this low note.

:brokenheart:

Thank you for sharing that.

How do you type/surf the internet?

I guess saying I'm so sorry will not cut it.
I have a cousin who did exactly the same thing, he dove into a lake and didn't know how shallow it was. He was a lifeguard there at the time. Really sad.

How are you typing? Hope you don't mind my asking.

He isn't entirely wrong. He could breathe for 45m max...barely. Below his neck - he could shrug his left shoulder. That's it. These things don't come back, even with all the therapy in the world. We goto therapy to prevent atrophy, and learn to manipulate what we've got left. I KNOW. I have the same injury.

I guess..

It was his tone that irked me the most. You CAN get better.. some more than others... sometimes not at all.

Yes its possible...things change. My sensitivity improves a bit every once in a while. No motor improvement.

People get the wrong idea that hard work in therapy will cure this. They think wasting our lives away in PT will make us walk again, and that is honestly bullsh!t.

I won't walk again. I accept that. I'm interested in improving life with the injury. Kidneys, skin, etc.

Hey crab, much respect brother

How old are you now and how old were you when it happened?
