My quadriplegic wishlist

One of the strangest things about quadriplegic life is to find yourself longing to do the mundane things that other people either take for granted or complain about having to do for themselves. So I thought I'd make a list:

• Bathing/dressing/using the toilet privately.
• Cooking meals
• Cleaning the house
• Doing laundry
• Doing my own shopping
• Going to bed late without bothering anyone
• Going where I want, when I want
• Visiting friends and not having to worry about whether I'll be able to get into their house.

Be grateful for your independence, it's worth more than you might think.
