I have to agree w/ that. I couldn't *imagine* not being able to drive, shift, run, f_ _ _. It amazes me how people continue. I know it's small of me to think that but that's just me. Can't help it.
Maybe in that situation you seem to cherish the act of living all by iself, w/o the other activities and are able to continue, but I remember telling my friends whenever paralysis came up in a conversation (even before Reeve), in jest (but not really sure) that I wish them to wheel me into a swimming pool or something when I end up in such condition.
What's that make me?
