I'm sure there are others equally poignant.......

Or read the short book:"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" by Jean-Dominique Bauby,written by the author's blinking of his left eye due to "locked-in syndrome"

    I've seen the movie....
    It is truly amazing what can be done within ones' disabilities, whatever they may be...

    Makes me very happy that 'all' I had was cancer....

    Hugs, Kathi

    To me, it also meant that at least I was able to live and do
    what i did with my life for 58 1/2 years WITHOUT cancer (or without me knowing I had a tumor brewing); this kid, now young man, was BORN the way he is......steve

    Amazing
    It can really make me feel like a jerk for complaining about what I am dealing with. Attitude is EVERYTHING!
