My Quadriplegic Husband Is Writing A Book

United States
October 22, 2007 7:50am CST
Writing a book is not an easy task. My husband is a 34 year old Quadriplegic and he is writing his Life Story. It will be filled with happy moments, tragic moments, surprises, and much more that will leave you saying, "Are you serious?". I am very proud of him and he plans to raise enough funds from the profits of selling his book on the internet to help him pursue stem cell treatments in China in 2008. Feel free to ask questions or make comments.

Thanks. He has 3 chapters left to write for the first one. It will be 10 chapters in total once completed. Total page count has not been counted yet. That will be determined when all editing has been done on all chapters. He will be releasing the first 10 pages completely free in a separate e-book to give the public a taste of how he writes. When this is officially released I'll let everyone know and they can download it from his website. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your kind words. He has been a Quadriplegic since he was 14 years old. That is a long time being in his condition and he really needs a chance at regaining as much as he can. Currently he has been dealing with numbing pain going up his side in the mornings due to great deal of muscle spasms in his right leg during the night. He has 10 lbs weights on each leg during the night time to keep his legs from jumping all over the place. The draw back right now is that the strain of lifting the weights somewhat with every spasm he has seems to be causing the numbing pain in the morning, but he is tough and surprisingly enough good spirited about the future and what it holds. I will let him know what you said. It will definitely put a smile on his face. Again, thanks and I will keep you posted.

That's wonderful news!!! I'm so glad that I've come across you again! I knew you from Amazon, and what he's done with his life has really blessed me! Because I sent so many group mailings, his e-mailbox started recognizing me as a spammer, so I'd ended up losing track of you. Glad to see you here again and to hear the wonderful news! The two of you will be in my prayers!

That is so cool. I will certainly let you know and is only planning on releasing 1000 copies to the Internet. I will announce it here first before I do it anywhere else on the web. I am really am finding this a great place to find out about things that I never thought could be discussed in a social online community. Many people sharing their ideas and information is the key to keeping things interesting. I look forward to writing more often on here myself. Take care and drop by when you can.
