I am very excited to be apart of this group. I have a T-12-L2 injury and Multiple Sclerosis. The woman who runs our Sci support group calls it the double whammy.
I call it being double blessed. Allthough I have faced more than my share of crises, I face life on lifes terms. I 100 percent accept my situation and take full responsibility for my life. I amuse myself by pushing the limits. I am interested in meeting all of you.
