I am paralyzed from the chest down, caused by a serious car accident when I was 26 years old. I am very kind, maybe due to my accident, and I am not typical pissed off because I'm in a wheelchair attitude. I'm bored, and miss having a companion in my life. I have always had a lot of friends in my life, and they have dwindled down to a choice few. I have a son, 14, and I try to play an active role in his life. I am able to care for myself for the most part, shower, dress, eat, drive, etc. I don't feel as though I would be able to physically care for someone who had the same type of disability as myself.
