Oddly enough i've been thinking about this the last few days too, why for me is it T10 ?, why not an amputee or even a quad or a lower level of paralysis so crutching is an everyday possibility ? I likened my journey to those baby toys where you have to fit the shapes into the right slot. Yunno when you dont yet understand what these shapes mean or do, you just try them in the first slot you see, and if it dont fit you try another. Then eventually you find the right slot and it all begins to make sense. I guess with regards to BIID we're all at the toddler stage, although it would be nice to grow up some day :-) (at least we dont have to eat those vile Farleys Rusk things...ugh) Yeah, I and i’m sure most people in here have been through a similar “voyage of discovery” to see where we fit into this thing.
