Going down a one way street - the right way - he met a car coming against him, and that was that - broken neck, no leg movement and very very limited arm and hand movement. He married his nurse (we were at the wedding reception). They're both very happy. Life is a conundrum.

>> Well put Gerry.My best friend at University had an accident in 1979 which broke his neck and left him quadriplegic. He was hugely disabled but after a year on a heart/lung machine learned to breath for himself through a permanent tracheotomy it had a flap valve so he could speak.He regained his fantastic sense of humour and he was a brilliant man. He absolutely hated being talked down to and we had lots of fun together over the years, discussing engineering ideas. He designed yacht fittings on a CAD system using a mouth stick. Slow but never daunted.He sadly passed away following breathing difficulties just after a fantastic 60th birthday celebration arranged by his wife and 2 children.I miss him.Frank D
