Thanks to all. Especially to one of our members who took the time to call. I am feeling better tonight.......and dealing with Chris was easier also.

I guess I really need to sit down and try to imagine what it would feel like to be in his position. To be such a vibrant, full of life person and now confined to a wheelchair and battling everyday to rebuild his strength and to try to be able to help himself somewhat. I am really hoping that we receive the long awaited phone call this week from the rehab and things can get set up for him to go in. I really feel that this will re-boost his self confidence somewhat and give him some hope that things will get better.

I know that right now he is going through an adjustment and acceptance period - which I'm sure we both will go through many of these.

I get very frustrated when he gets like this - I really need to learn patience, stop getting so frustrated and angry and learn to talk and try to get him to reason and look at the positive things in life.

Tonight before I turned out the lights and said "Goodnight" I told Chris that even though he is in a wheelchair now and if he may be in one the rest of his life......the chair doesn't change the person inside. Life will continue to go on and we will learn how to have a fullfilling life - wheelchair and all.

I went to bed seeing the smile on his face....................
