[QUOTE=nightfield;30981801]I already knew I was due to the fact that I had zero feeling below about my bellybutton. I was mad at myself, and the driver of both cars. It took a long time to forgive the parties involved, but it's not like I was the only one affected. Two people in the other car died. It wasn't anyones fault, since it was so icy. It also didn't help that there was a pole that was hit after hitting the other car.

Basically a car in the oncoming traffic lane slid, hit our car, then forced our car into a pole. This at about at 60 MPH on a 4 lane highway[/QUOTE]
Did you go through anything spiritual after the crash? Like seeing the light, or doing things differently? What in your life changed the most? What's the "line" where your feeling cuts off? Your stomach? perhaps the bottom of your liver?
okay here are some questions
1. whats the fastest youve think youve gone in your wheel chair?
2. Do you ever view the world kinda like a playground thinking you could get mad air off that ramp or something
3. Is your wheelchair boring or is it tricked out and fucking awesome
4. do you ever participate in wheelchair races with other people
5. can you do a wheelie
[QUOTE=69105;30981860]Do you drive regardless of being paralized?
I have a cousin who lost all motor function in his legs and in most of one of his arms but he drives this pimped out van like it's nobody's business.[/QUOTE]
I can drive, but it's not really something I enjoy doing. The car I drove was one that a company that helped paralyzed people like myself manufacted. It was very expensive though, So I'll wait until I can afford it.
have you ever done anything to intentionally make yourself look pathetic so people could feel bad for you/generate attention from any particular girls?
<3 to you OP.

1. Probably in the upper 30's going down a concrete hill
2. All the time
3. It's tricked out and fucking awesome. What did you expect?
4. Hell yeah, usually it's against old guys. I'm currently undefeated.
5. Chyea
I didn't go through anything spiritual. about my bellybutton. I feel that something created the universe, but I don't believe in the God that is popular on Earth.
Has being in a wheelchair facilitated interactions with other wheel chair bound people? Has anyone ever made fun of it?

Nah, that's for pussies. I just roll into bars and act and talk loud. Ladies love it.

I talk to every wheelchair-bound person I see. It's like being in a brotherhood of wheelchair bros. Nobody has ever made fun of it, probably because of the two GUNS that I have extending from my shoulders.
dude i love you
i knew this fucker who would always pull the whole "oh i dropped my books OOPS and can't bend over my huge-ass wheels to pick them up can somebody help me" and all of these girls would stop everything they're doing to help him.
everybody secretly hated him for it but nobody had the gall to call him out. how can you? it's automatically heartless if you tell somebody with a disability that they're a douchebag, right? right.
Much respect for you nightfield. Your outlook on life is amazing, and you just live it up. Props to you
Have you ever had your leg cut or injured? If so what does it feel like knowing you just injured your leg yet you are unable to feel it.
its like seriously why are you carrying your books in your lap and wheeling yourself around what did you think was going to happen
Someone asked if I would rather lose my arms or my legs. Legs of course. I'm already use to it. Also I couldn't play videogames without the use of my arms. I have no idea what 69105 is talking about. I've gotten bruises and scrapes on my legs, but nothing major. One good thing is I will never get to experience another stubbed toe. Actually now I get what 69105 is saying, that guy sounds pretty badass. I will probably try that out.
but you could be like a monkey and play with your feet
Do your legs still sweat?

So... if you grew a mustache and beard, you could be in THREE secret cults! It's a win-win situation, whether the powerful paraplegics, the beardy bros, or the mustached men take over!
Being a monkey sounds like it would be pretty gay. No, my legs lost the ability to sweat (Not really). Also, I already have a moustache. Way ahead of you guys.
You know, I honestly don't know what to say about the OP. I would feel sad and sympathize him, but he seems to be acting completely cool and strong about his condition.
Sir I admire your attitude.

That's because I AM STRONG AND COOL.
I love how open OP is
[QUOTE=nightfield;30982039]That's because I AM STRONG AND COOL.[/QUOTE]
And I really admire your attitude despite the the condition you are in.
[QUOTE=nightfield;30980919]I'm 19. Probably not being able to jerk off.[/QUOTE]
not walking is nothing though, right?
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;30982070]not walking is nothing though, right?[/QUOTE]
I felt that was an obvious answer, so I tried to spice it up. Not being able to walk doesn't mean I'm not able to move around though. I never have to deal with leg fatigue do to walking.
How do you get up/down stairs?
[QUOTE=Zorus;30982105]How do you get up/down stairs?[/QUOTE]
This electronic slide thing, or elevators.
How did you feel after the accident about your disability?
when the future comes
are you going to get some adam jensen deus ex type robo legs with katanas in the kneecaps or some shit
[editline]7th July 2011[/editline]
also, do you look forward to hoverchairs
Do you dream of science creating super powered exo-skeletons, then you and your paraplegic comrades rising up against the puny able-bodied humans and taking over the world?

Here's a another robotic exoskeleton demonstration video. It works along with the crutches to control the legs so I don't believe this one requires any leg mobility at all, unlike the other.
Skip to 3:20 to see it.
Do your parents still love you even though your paralyzed?
