Twenty-six years ago I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. My condition resulted in partial paralysis from the neck down which means I’m considered an incomplete quadriplegic. I am not ambulatory and have limited use of my arms. Compared to some I have quite a bit of mobility and independence. Compared to others I have very little mobility and independence. Normally I prefer not to focus on the downside of my situation but occasionally it gets to me, and I know it gets to others experiencing debilitating infirmities. I hope my candid “sharing” can help us all recognize that we’re not alone on this journey.
