John's Story

Life I dont have any recent pictures. My sisters evicted me from the home I had lived in for 50 years, and I left virtually everything behind. I refrain from putting my drivers license picture on anything. As many of you know, I have been paralyzed for 34 years. Spinal cord injuries are everything they're cracked up to be! When you're young and stupid, you do stupid things. I am now living in a nursing/rehabilitation hospital in glendora. Hopefully growing wiser as I grow older!!! I hope to get out of this place soon. The worst thing about my injury is not that I can't walk, but the chronic pain that many in my condition have to live with. Though my flesh desires nothing more than to find an exit from this place, still I regret leaving some of these people behind. There are so many that live here that can't even make decisions for themselves--and at times these places can be very unfriendly! An LVN that works here told me that though she has worked at over 10 hospitatals like t...Expand for more
his one, this is the first one she has worked at that is run by the nursing attendants. Even as I write this note, I am under much stress. I just went through another failed surgical procedure at UCLA to aliviate the complex regional pain syndrome that has plagued my body since the day of my my accident, but the desire to have my pain lessened certainly keeps me searching. I have been to all the reunions, and it was good to see friends that I haven't seen for a long time; some I have known since elementary school. I hope to see you all at the next reunion. I Pray all of you are doing well. For those of you that Pray, Please Pray for my release from pain. If there is anything I desire for any of you it would be that you would Know the Salvation of Jesus Christ. The picture I am including with this bio was taken out at the cajon pass, the site of 1972 spinal cord injury. It reminds me of what its like to be young and stupid, so it probably won't be posted very long! John ++ +
