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.

Thank you for sharing that.

How do you type/surf the internet?


Hard to explain honestly. I use my index fingers...and my hands are trained into tenodesis. I can manipulate my fingers by moving my wrists. I cant find any sites on it right now.

I'm 21, I was 15.

My GF is 11 days older, and was injured on the same exact date (June 28) but 9 years apart.

It never ceases to amaze me that we have people from all walks of life here on ATOT.

crab - Sorry just doesn't cut it but our thoughts are with you and your g/f.

Were you formerly crab453 or is that someone else?

I thought Superman 1 was the best. I didn't like 2 because it ruined the Clark Kent/Lois Lane romance. Basically, in this version of the legend, Superman became a tragic hero in that movie. He can never love nor be loved. Instead, he kissed Lois and she forgot everything and he will continue to act the same way -- teasing Lois but knowing nothing can ever happen.

The reason why I'm bothered by this version is because I don't think a man can be a Superman without the love of a woman (because of personal reasons). I just don't like the idea of such a nice guy like Clark Kent never being able to experience love.

He'd be better off without the love of a woman for two very big reasons. 1) If word leaked that Superman and Lois Lane were an item, Lois would be a target. Superman would be unable to protect her all the time. And word would leak, the Superman behaves. 2) Love makes you stupid. A man with Superman's powers cannot afford to be stupid. Being stupid gets you killed. Being stupid gets other people killed.

Oh, still don't see anything on any of the major news sites.

I liked how this was handled in Spiderman 2.

Yes, I remember you on one of the girl/love threads a long time ago. When you explained your situation I remembered being at a lost of words. Good luck to you.

Jesus Christ, he's just trying to be positive. It's not like he (or I) can relate. We do the best we can.

Well, in his defense, it's kind of hard to know what to say... he was probably trying to use humor to lighten up the situation and make him feel better.

Guess kryptonite was not his only weakness

Now if only we can kill the actors of batman, maybe they will stop those horrible movies in view of the passing of an actual good super hero movie actor
