I know how you must be feeling. I personally have not lost any mobility but my husband has. In a way his disabilities have disabled some of what I can do (as a couple). He lost the use of his right arm and has head neck and spinal injuries. He was a combat medic for the military in the special forces, climbed communication towers when he got out (he always had a death wish, lived life on the edge). After he lost the use of his arm he had to learn how to do the simplest things in a new way some of the things he does amazes me. A month after he got out of his coma, he changed the radiator in my car, by himself with one arm. He is definitely by far a survivor and that what you sound like to me a survivor, mind over matter, you have to keep that mentality up you can do it. I'm always trying to tell him mind over matter but know he resorts to medication, which has disabled him more then the accident all of his injuries did. The war didn't kill him, climbing 300 ft in the air didn't kill him the motor cycle didn't kill him but his medications are. Take care and I hope my die hard attitude does not offend you. You have but one life and you have to constantly evolve in order to survive. The best of luck to you.
