I agree with the thought kilg0retr0ut had (being 'chosen' to have this because we are stronger in crazy). I don't think this has made me stronger. I do believe it has made me a little more tolerant towards others. You never know what kind of battle someone else is going through. 'Just do it' and 'get on with it' are two phrases I love. My injury is L5/S1(but I believe my injury is S1and below) so I am able to walk, but it's difficult, more like a shuffle with a limp and I'm on my feet for 50 hours a week at work. Some weeks are better than others, my ankles swell, my balance sucks, my heels are constantly throbbing but I refuse to give up. I will not let CES define me in any way shape or form. My favorite quote is this 'it's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get back up'

Your living proof right there of inner strength kisch5! I admire your spirit

I have thoughts on wether we are chosen to have SCI but i'l save that for another thread lol

It is like a muscle. If you keep using it it will become stronger. We need to be strong in order to get anything done.
