If you could have one wish granted what would it be apart from walking normally again, mine would be to be able to afford the re walk, it would be great to be able to talk to people at their level again and to feel "normal" once again. I believe this wish will come true, I don,t know how or when, but I just feel it will.

Is it a selfish wish, for myself, or is it a "World peace" wish?

Personally, if it was for my gain only, I would wish to win the mega millions jackpot. I could buy land, build a house and move out of this wretched trailer park. (It's the only thing we can afford at the moment) I'd have 4 green houses and grow all my own organic fruits and veggies. I'd donate a good portion of it to places like Project Paw, which is one of the largest cat shelters in NY. I'd pay off all my family's debt, along with my own AND I could get fog lights installed on my Honda Civic. Money is an amazing thing. I would buy everyone on the forum here a rewalk machine and crew to exercise with. But, alas, it's money. And I just paid rent. =\

Or world peace.

3 doctors diagnosed me with hysterical paralysis (weee!), 1 diagnosed an incomplete T7, another T2 and the last (and most accurate) T5. Trampolines are BAD. Sleep is unpredictable. And never kiss strangers. Life has moved on.

I would like to recover the last fifteen years or so spent as a prisoner of this miserable condition. Though I am only forty-four years of age, I feel so old and worn-out now that even if I could walk right this minute, I doubt very much that I'd be able to find within me zeal enough to make the best of it.

i'd like to live in an accessible cabin in the mountains overlooking the pacific ocean. I'd smoke a bunch of herb and be a hermit.
One must have a strong will to make it.

I'd have to wish for a Healthy, Happy Family. Even while I was in the Chair we were always lol together. Health and other things besides age slowly changed things for a few family members. :(

Wait until you're 65! My cousin called me last week and we were talking about energy fading. She told me when she turned 90, she seemed to get tired quicker. (That was 2 years ago!)

The thing I would wish for would be to see my Mother & Father again. There are sure some empty holes they left.

Later.

Can we go with human peace then? I kinda like it here. That looks... not so peaceful.

Then my wish would be to have enough money to pay you to explain all that you've discovered to me, as that is a question I often ask myself as well.

I once had a time machine I built out of a Delorian. Then that damn kid stole it and I got shot. And then he got parkinsons, but that's :poo:

if i had a wish i might choose it to win the lottery . because if i won the Lottery... i would first first an foremost make sure i set aside 10% for church tithes. i couldant give it all at once of course. i dont think any organization can handle that lol. Then i would fix all my cars to be driveable. then pay off all my families debt, pay off the mortgage, on my dads and sisters house. build the house of my dreams. and be able to start a family. and have money to send my kids to the college of their choice. =) but for all of that i think i would only need like just a million... lol. the rest would be saved for emergencies and to help people who need help. id be able to repair cars free of charge for people. which i have always wanted to do. a good Samaritan business. make a ministry for the glory of God. and probably build a Christian Night Club that will feature all the big name artists. and have minimal fee or free entrance. as a positive alternitive to other activities that kids do there days. make it a safe haven and a hang out place. so many things i would do if i won the mega millions lottery. and still have allot left over. if i think of anything else ill add it later lol =)
