Since so many people here seemed curious about what life is like for someone with quadriplegia, I figured I’d mention that I found out about a blog of a woman who became quadriplegic during her first semester of college: [http://paralyzedwithjoy.blogspot.com/](http://paralyzedwithjoy.blogspot.com/)

She has written enough detailed posts about her experience that I do believe she probably is who she says she is. I figured some of the folks who were touched by the previous incident might enjoy reading the blog of someone who seems to have a good attitude after surviving such a terrible accident.

What’s your angle here, pal? :dubious:

I know you were joking, but just so it’s clear to everyone else, I have no connection to this lady. Just thought it was an interesting story, and she seems very open about answering all the types of questions that people usually have about quadriplegia.
