i'm so there with all of you...i got a divorce because i wanted to get stem cell treatment using cells taken from a terminated pregnancy...before my spinal cord injury i could never have imagined the amount of pain i put myself through just to have a life....basically she was one of those bible thumpers and everything had to fit based on what the book or her pastor interpreted from the book to throw at me why i shoudn't go to Chinas for treaqtment as there were "no blessings" in this treatment...well the first one basically gave me my life back so that i could begin to do a few things like having a buddy take me duck hunting for the first time since my injury and being able to go the gym and workout getting strong enough to do more and gain more independence from relying on others for help...i still suffer with pain i can just push myself to a farther point than i could before...they were all wrong on several accounts...happier w/o the nag and i got great results from the first procedure and in the process here in China again gettting results already from the injections of cells into my spinal cord....so who are these hypocrits to judge how quality of life should be attianed when they have no idea of the pain we are in!
