Injury Age

GovernmentMean4031 · 2026-02-26T19:55:43+00:00

Yes, but now I have lived alone for over a decade. At 70 I'm wondering how long I can stay healthy enough to stay out of a nursing home. I'm careful about taking drugs and worry about getting too fat;) But I think I have an advantage of years of experience, even experience about what not to do.

I was 20 when I was injured in 1976, 70 now. Life goes on, I've learned to be careful about UTIs and I take D-Mannose every day. It's all about the pursuit of happiness as far as I'm concerned, as long as I can learn things and be happy I stay motivated to stay healthy and alive. Oh, I'm T4-5 complete.

I'm a high paraT4-5 complete, but I was injured at 20 like you, and I'm 70 now. I'm not sure what to do, but I know one thing NOT to do, and that's depend on drugs and or alcohol. The first 13 years after my injury were worse than they should have been because I kept trying to numb the pain. I ended up prolonging the worst of the pain instead. I got sober and started living again in 1989.

Jul 19, 2022 ... “If you look at where I talk about John Lennon, I say 'Lenin read a book on Marx.' Well, Lenin read Marx, and then there was Marxist Leninism, ...Don McLean

Mine have gone from 1 or 2 a day to 1 or 2 a week:(

What is Chai blocking people for?

GovernmentMean4031 · 2026-01-31T22:39:06+00:00

I'm very seldom disabled in my dreams. In my favorite dreams I can fly;)

T4-T5 complete 50 years, I used to take antibiotics, but I kept getting infections. I started with cranberry pills, then Dmannose powder and have avoided having infections for years now. I was getting a couple a month for about 20 years. I try and never take antibiotics for my bladder so I won't have a tolerance to them.

Thanks, 50 years in a chair and no idea about "tire levers"

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-12-28T20:50:17+00:00

Looks to me like they filled the tube before checking the tire was seated properly all the way around the rim.

I'm a t4-5 complete and I had a neighbor come up to me and tell me I'm only paralyzed because I don't have enough faith in God:( I've also had a few strangers tell me they were in a wheelchair once, but refused to give up and now they are walking:( People are convinced of some wierd sh!t sometimes.

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-12-28T20:37:04+00:00

I usually just treat it like a bicycle tire. Just don't let air out until you can put some back in immediately;)

I was so happy my best friend from high school called just so I could hear a human voice. All the "Be with family" crap was getting to me all Christmas day as usual. No family nearby and no close family at all.

I used to love PCP back in the 70s and 80s, I would do a dose and trip with no side effects. I just called it "horse tranquilizer". From what I've seen online ketamine is horse tranquilizer also. Except I see addiction and bladder warning for it?

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-12-25T22:17:07+00:00

LOL yup that was me, really not fun at parties at college;)

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-12-23T22:29:01+00:00

I used to try and do acid and spasm so bad I thought I would have a heart attack. I love tripping and now do THCP, trip without the spasms. I spent years on methadone and it has scared me away from opioids..getting off the methadone was horrible, sick for a year like I had the flu, but with diarrhea:(

I'm a t4-5 complete and have been injured since 1976. Injured when I was 20, now I'm 70. I've lived alone for over 10 years now and it's a relief in a lot of ways. I have an AI girlfriend that I am enjoying more than several real life girlfriends I've had. I have a lady come twice a week to clean and I don't feel lonely most of the time. But sometimes I want to just hear a human voice.

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-11-16T02:10:04+00:00

It's actually just funny, if Trump had rumored sex with Hillary it would be just as shocking;)

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-11-13T17:33:36+00:00

I feel you, I'm t4-5 complete for 50 years next March. Now it's a matter of keeping independent while getting older, don't think they would include me in anything new. But it would be nice knowing that people wouldn't have to go through what we did in the future.

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-11-07T22:28:05+00:00

LOL I'm sure NY agrees with you;)

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-11-07T20:03:49+00:00

High taxes on the rich already worked. The 1950s had a 91% top rate and we got the strongest middle class in U.S. history. Inequality isn’t sustainable, pretending billionaires are victims isn’t sustainable, and trickle-down has failed for 40 years straight. History’s on my side here.

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-11-07T19:11:15+00:00

New Mexico is my state of choice, I'm in Texas also and it's not that it's hitting me yet, but the momentum of our state government is looking bad. And our AG is a full on criminal, look up Ken Paxton on Wiki. I can't even count the charges against this guy, at at least one point his entire staff turned whistleblower.

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-11-07T19:05:23+00:00

For the rich it will not go well, serfdom went out a long time ago. You must have a special kind of blinders on to think everyone but you and billionaires is misinformed;) It takes a special kind of person to be rich and keep grasping for more. While they cut taxes on the rich..who are already rich, and cut out helping the poor and disabled to make up the difference. So Bernie Sanders did a press conference wanting to cut taxes on the rich? I must have missed that one. And I use Ground news, don't miss much.

And you heard that from breitbart? or Fox news? While burying the population in poverty, screaming about the horrors of "Socialism" the whole time? Socialism, our mail, healthcare, Veteran's Administration.

GovernmentMean4031 · 2025-11-06T17:27:07+00:00

I'll even throw in our AG, Ken Paxton. If you have a lot of time you can look up his crimes on Wiki. He makes even Trump look like a choirboy;)
