GOD BLESS YOU SIR! You are an inspiration to all who are not paralyzed and to those who are.

Truely an inspiration. To suffer such loss and come out ahead is the mark of a true man.I applaud you.You see,I am a guitarist and I work industrial construction and have seen guys with hand injuries and I have always had the fear of being injured and never being able to fingerpick again.I always said the only thing I will miss when I die is playing my guitars.I now know that there is a strength from within that can offset the imbalance of loss.There is a lesson to be learned from you my friend.
