-> Man... don't sound good, what year did ya have all these fractures Wayne?

Riding a motorcycle was hit by a vehicle operated in an insanely
wreckless and illegal manner.

A _second_ time when riding a motorcycle to vocational rehabilitation
for job retraining as the bike was the only transportastion I could
afford on SSDI.

Not like I was an inexperienced rider either as I'd previously had 17
years riding without major incident.
Neither was my fault.

-> Darn, can't the doctors do something for ya?

If I had a couiple of hundred grand I could try some experimental stuff
but no guarantee.
Others with similar injuries have been told there's nothing to be done.

I literally begged a doctor on Voc Rehab's short list to fuse my spine
but he declined to do so.
It would have given me a shot at returning to work.

-> My SCI is permanent, I'm in a wheelchair, for 20+ years now.

I hate hearing about others' difficulties even more than my own.
I _should_ be in a wheelchair as it'd help my mobility but it's
a maole pride - ego thing.

Perhaps when I've fallen face forward a few more times breaking my fall
with my face a few more times.
