PART V I - FRAME OF MIND - I apologize if I only talk about myself. Yes, I do think of other things. But recently, I have been centered on myself. To be perfectly honest, the problems I have could become serious. My right hand is becoming almost useless except for typing. The doctor yesterday was concerned about my leg function. I tire very easily. But here is the interesting part. Mentally, I feel the best in 4 months. Isnt that strange? How can I possibly feel that way? I feel like this because I am not a quadriplegic. I have use of all of my limbs. They may not work well, but they work. With my injury I should be in a facility trying to make something work. I should be using a TV remote with my mouth. I should be finding out how to drive an electronic wheelchair. I should be wasting away in some hospital bed. But I am not. Im at home typing this post. I should not be able to do this. I shouldnt be able to walk or drive a car or even pet my Libby. No matter what happens to me in the future, I already won. I won my independence. I won my ability to be human. I just dont know why? How did I survive and so many dont? How come I can walk and so many end up in a wheelchair? I dont know the answer. Maybe, I will never know. But then again, maybe I will find out tomorrow or the next day or a month from now. When I find the answer, I will let you know.
