Hi all, I just found this site and am thankful for it. It nice to have others out there than relate 100% to what's going on in your life and also to see the future really is bright!

My husband got into an auto accident on his way to work last August and received a C5/C6 injury. We've had a really rough road with getting therapy. In fact if is wasn't for a foundation he would be receiving nothing. Big long story. But he is a strong amazing man, the love of my life (been married 8 years next moth) and the perfect father of our 3 beautiful daughters ages 7, 2 and 8 months (yes I was pregnant with the baby when the accident happened). He's emotionally the strongest man I know, I'm lucky to have him!

OK enough sappy crap! Just wanted to introduce myself and say HI!!!!
