I am so sick of meeting people who are like, "Oh, just pray and God will heal you," or "You'll walk again someday, maybe even run!" I wish they would do their research and realize how f-ing stupid they sound! I can walk with a walker very short distances, but I GUARANTEE I will not be running any marathons EVER. People don't realize that yes, I do have fairly good function in my legs, but that does not mean I have the function in my hips to correctly stabilize and control my legs. People don't think of how many muscles it actually takes to walk properly. They think it's just your leg muscles you need when in reality, your hip muscles and back muscles are what stabilize you. Without stability, you're not doing anything! I'm so fed up with people telling me this sh** over and over again when they have no freaking idea what it entails to lift a half-dead leg with a hip you cannot feel! And just because I can stand up while holding onto a wall DOES NOT mean I can walk!
Having people tell me this crap makes me not want to stand up in public, even though standing is good for me and relieves pressure off my tailbone and lumbar spine. I am tempted to throw my shoe at the next person who says this kind of ill-mannered, uneducated bullsh** to me!
I had to have a rant about it! If you want to be involved in my recovery, do some research and stop trying to sound smart when you are so utterly ignorant!
(Sorry there is some bad words in this rant; I censored it for you.)
This is the place to get it off your chest 
When i think of this i always remember a guy i was in rehab with, after rehab is was almost AB and he still complained 'why me' ...he always comes to mind especially when we had complete quads with us too
