I am so sick of people acting like they know what is best for my husband and I.
Our neighbors came over last night with a lemon pie...which was very sweet. I appreciated the visit until they started telling us how we needed to do everything. I know they just want to help....but, please....don't treat me like I'm an idiot.
I swear people think that when you are young that you are just naive and can't do a damn thing for yourself. I am so tired of people trying to tell me how to do things....as if I can't figure it out for myself.
Oh, and the kicker.... Before the neightbors left (they are an older couple), the man told my husband "son, if you really want to move your legs then you can do it" he said "it is mind over matter and if you work on moving your toes every single day then you will move them"............AAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! I about busted out of my head screaming. I just smiled and said "thanks for the pie".

maybe i will just get up tonight, and bang the shit out of wife. If it's only mind over matter. Maybe I will start to move my pecker a little everyday, and who know's what will happen next maybe a will be a porn star.
Maybe hillary you should make a pie with a bunch of Exlax in it , and go overthere and tell him it just mind over matter to stop shitting himself.
I'm right there with you, hey if it's going to happen it's goingto happen. The thing i hate seeing is when people say the told them self that they will walk again and they do. Like it is that easy. Like i don't have the determenation to try to walk. i hate that shit. i don't know if that makes since but that really pisses me off. Like if I tell myself that I will walk by the time i'm 30 it will just happen.
Well I guess you can put this down in the moaning section.
If you need help making that pie my wife said she wouldlove to help as long as you have us down to see the results.

I am laughing so damn hard!! My abs actually hurt right now!
I'll tell Bruce that I expect him to start walking tonight....I mean, it isn't like it is that hard!
Don't people realize that if it was just that easy that there would be no paralyzed people?
People always give us articles about people who have started walking since being paralyzed.....like that is supposed to make us feel so much freakin better!

[studinchair]

i love those articles and then my mom loves to give articles about how much money people got when they got hurt at work. "well if they got that much for just losing their leg and there 9 kids and there dog you should get so much more" that is the kinda shit i get. You just have to say thanks mom and just keep livivng in this shit hole house that i live in until i get my money.
Man I am on fire tonight!
Ask bruce if he would like to hold my hand and go for a walk tonight, wait lets make it 2 nights from now i might need a little practice, since i just changed my mind and decided i wanted to walk again. Anyway tell bruce i love him and that I look forward to are walk.....

Bruce said that he wants a long, romantic walk on the beach...and he doesn't put out on the first date!

Bruce's mom gives us articles about stem cell shit all the time.....I'm so sick of it. She'll call me up and be like "Hillary, is Bruce getting back any of his feeling yet..do you think he ever will..how long does it take..can he feel when he's gotta pee.." and my favorite is "well, so and so did this so y'all should be able to do it too".......like everybody is in the same boat here. It frustrates the hell out of me.

And finally, the best ever......."Hillary, you don't have enough faith in God or Bruce would be walking right now". I can't even respond to that, all I can do is laugh.

What a pack of idiots!!!! Some people simply have no brains. Hillary make sure you dont bite your tongue too hard.
I would have taken that pie and thrown it at them while they were going out the door!
Want some recipes???lol

[carolline]

I wish those ppl like that.....are kinda electronic device....like a television it has a remote control....that we can put them on "MUTE" or can be "OFF" suddenly, when they starting to talk.

The remark that really bugs me and im sure that a lot of people will disagree with me on this but......

'Everything happens for a reason'

WTF.......

Im trying to think of the reason i really am.......what.....is it that people get spinal injuries to keep wheelchair manufacturers in business,

because that the best that i can come up with,

[hillarymcarter]

Wheelie...I do believe that things happen and we deal with them and something good usually ends up happening. When that good thing happens (and surely everybody gets one good thing that happens in life), then people say "oh, see everything happens for a reason!". If it makes them feel better, then I'll let them be stupid. Like God sits up in heaven and says, you know, I think I'll paralyze someone today and there is a reason behind it! Bull Crap...whatever!

PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT AND I'M SICK OF ALL OF THEM.

I swear, one day I will decide to quit being so nice and everyone is in for a rude awakening!!!! Bruce says I will never not be nice to someone....it's coming I'm telling you..I can feel my blood boiling much more often now.

When the neighbors were talking about all of that bullcrap to Bruce, I went and did laundry. That is extremely rude for me to leave while someone is talking...I'm kinda proud of myself! When they left, Bruce came up and said "uh, oh, you're pissed, you were doing laundry"!

I feel bad for people when I finally fall off my rocker.

[ASHLEYTHOMPSON]

Hillary, can you come do my laundry?

[hillarymcarter]

Just reading everyone else's stories pisses me off! Ashley...I'm coming to do laundry!!
