Sun Sep 27 2009Another no brainer.If you can't walk,you can't run or flee a burning building without assistance,for starters.

Wed Sep 16 2009I certainly don't want it to happen but there could be worse things. My uncle has lost both his legs and I'm constantly amazed at the stength of his spirit. His perseverance through not only not being able to walk but losing his vision as well is a source of inspiration to me.

Sat Sep 12 2009I can barely walk as it is, I am always hurting my foot, leg, ankle or something so just loosing that ability wouldn't be that bad.

Tue Aug 11 2009I'm embarrassed to say that as a kid, I was so lazy that I'd pass someone in a wheel-chair and think, "Gee, that isn't such a bad way to live-- having someone to push you around all day." Now, of course, the thought of not being able to walk feeds into my fear of becoming dependent on others for the most basic necessities of life. Not as scary as going blind, but scary enough.

Mon Aug 10 2009Turns out I am afraid of this. When I was 18 I went car-surfing with Some buddies. This was something that I did a lot, very Stupid in retrospect and shows how Lucky I was back then. 99.9% of the time I was Able to do this without incident, but one time I fell. My friend, who was Driving, went over a Speed bump. I remember thinking; "Oh, f#ck, I'm going to Get bumped off the car and Run over." Luckily, that didn't happen and we made it Past with no incident. Just when I was Thinking about what a Great driver Mel was, he rounded a Corner. The car turned a sharp Left, I kept going straight. I flew off the car, and rolled about 15 feet or so. My friends said it looked Like something out of a Movie. When I stopped rolling, I could not move Anything below my neck. My friends thought I was dead. I heard them talking, panicked about What had happened While Mel was trying to come Up with a Cover. I'm am not sure why I could not signal my legs or arms To move. I think it was the shock of the I... Read more

Mon Aug 10 2009I apply the same reasoning here that I did for blindness.

Mon Aug 10 2009An automobile accident at 18 took away my abilty to walk. Life as a farmer, carpenter, and man who lived by the strength in my back gave way to spinal cord injury. I am a quadriplegic. Being smart, charming, competitive, and bold became gifts--unknown before disability struck native "strengths." Necessity is the "mother fucker" of invention. I've been everywhere. Loved women, nature, dogs, kids and life. Been blessed to try dozens of careers, live in 10 states, grow gardens, make friends, build businesses, and take immense risks. There have been wins and losses; I can't say which taught more. Would I choose life in a chair? No. Did I choose to live? No! My body kept going, I'm making the best of it. And honestly, I was scaired shitless as a teenager/instant "grown up." Then I started learning, dating, drinking, playing, and college opened the door to freedom.

Thu Aug 14 2008It's something I think about sometimes. I was in a wheelchair when I was in my early 20s, and thanks to prayer, the wheelchair has been long out of the picture. It is something that I am very grateful for, and looking at the here and now, I think I am pretty healthy. God's been very good to me.

Tue Aug 12 2008The thought of not being able to walk is a little scary, simply because your independence would be gone, unless you had a really good strong support group, and that's not always easy to find. It would be very hard to depend on someone else when a person had been self-sufficient for so long.

Thu Aug 07 2008Not being able to walk would suck but it's not really scary. What happened to make you not be able to walk is probably scary as hell to the person that can't walk. On the bright side you could get all kinds of sympathy sex from hot chicks. Unless your dick don't work. Then just go kill yourself!! (Twice)
