Some days are quad days

So ... the two small wounds on the back of one's right leg finally close and you think, we're on the way to healing at last; and you think, I might make it to the swimming pool soon after all. Then you discover a not-so-small damaged area on your left buttock, which makes you think ... and where did that come from as well as wondering ... how many holes in his bum does one man need?. So you get out the granuflex (which is lovely looking, isn't it?) to begin the repair job and healing, which will be slow because you've got very bad quadriplegic's blood circulation.

Some time later you knock you toes against a book case and only later do you discover (with a little help from a friend) that you've more or less ripped off a toe nail. That explains the massive sweating, which is probably a substitute for pain responses.


You begin to wonder ... will we ever go swimming?

Yes (but not this week or next).
