Bob, Ann & everyone else,
When I went to rehab. (which was in an old army hospital barracks), I
was handed a book titled "welcome to the world of paraplegia", I opened
the book to the middle and the first thing I read was, some paraplegics
prefer to have their limbs amputated to aid in transferring and make
their lives easier! I almost passed out from the thought! I think the
publisher of the book was th V.A. but not sure. That was back in 1975
and I think it was left over from WWII Sure gladd I didn't take their
advise.
